This JP6 has been for sale for at least 8 mos now (since I am local and I've seen it left and right). This is how you destroy an extremely well built, exceptionally designed instrument. In my opinion I'd rather call BP and ask for it rather than 'tung-oil' it???!!! Oh well. .. .. Intellectual meanderings - never ending sufferings.

Alright, I've actually got a few minutes to post a REAL reply. Been a rough and busy week!
So here we go... Quote:
I must admit, I agree with most of you, I think the natural JP on the bay is horribly depressing to look at. The original hardware would definitely be an improvement, as the knobs and colored pickups just make me want to light it on fire, lol. But onward to news about MY guitar. The last person I spoke to about painting the guitar was my luthier, who said he didn't feel he was capable of accomplishing what I wanted. However, he has sent my pictures and information to a friend of his, who painting, is all he does. I have received an email from him and he is very confident that he can duplicate my design. I've sent him a couple more detailed pictures of the paint scheme to make absolute sure that he can do what I want. If he says he can, I'll hopefully be paying him a visit within the next week or so to show him the body. From there I'll decide whether or not I really need to go through another 2 weeks worth of hell to remove the nitrocelly or not, depending on what he says. Needless to say, I'm excited!

Good to hear that someone saw THESE pics and said, he could do it.
As I don't know anything about all that paintingnitrocellyripoff stuff that you guys are talking about, I will not make any comments about it. What I do actually think is a good idea, is to meet this painting guy in person. So far, I understood that you, the mighty Morbid, are absolute meticulous (does anybody still use this word? ;-) about this project, which I like very much. This guitar deserves it

So I met up with the potential painter today, Dan. I can first start by saying, this is DEFINITELY the guy to finish my project. Dan definitely knows his stuff and is dedicated to getting my project done in a timely manner the right way.
To prove his ability, he brought me a rough draft of what I want on the guitar, and I must say I'm rather pleased and very excited. I took the rough draft home to mow over in my mind, to give me a couple of days to decide exactly what I want, now that I have a tangible piece to stare at. Here it is;  He sliced it into 2 forms, one either without, or with very little of the pearl sparkle and one with 2 layers of it. With the way the light reflects, I believe I'm going to go without the sparkle. It's just too much for me. Although, outside on cloudy days like today, it's barely noticeable, as so;  Fact of the matter is, I'll rarely be playing guitar outside on cloudy days. However, I rather like the 'grain' of the paint without the sparkle. Here are a few closeups. Without/Very Little  This one's obvious...  I told Dan that I would like a slightly lighter gray color, so things standout a little more. My truck was parked near by, so I used it as a reference and held the paper up to it. It's ever so slightly lighter, but enough to make the difference I believe. He said we could use the actual code from my truck which is K11. Here is an outside picture of the paper on the hood of the (dirty)truck to give you guys the reference as well.  As always, looking forward to your input and inspiring words.
