Thanks. It's a lot of fun to see your guitars and your friends.

Big John does beautiful restoring work ! He has been sending me pics during the latest CUSTOM restoring and now we see the finished results.

WOW! Very nice!

Thanks a lot guys. It helps to make the last 2-months all the more worth the while. The PEWTER Custom is the one that I complained about in a Post this past summer. I hope the guy sees what he's missing! “Time wounds all Heels”!

Fine restoration work, John! I recently restored a T-8 using the Ivory color you recommended. I cannot find the Fender decal or logo anywhere. Where did you get the ones on the front of your restorations?

Kind Regards,
Ron

Great job! What finish did you use?

Larry;
The Black Custom was re-finished in ’79. I used Flat-Black and then decided I wanted a Gloss-Finish, so; I used 3 or 4 coats of Clear Varathane. The PEWTER Custom which I just re-finished was done with several coats of GMC PEWTER SUV paint and then 3 or 4 coats of Clear-Coat. This was to match the color-scheme of my ’03 GMC YUKON.
Thanks everyone for your compliments! ------------------
