Paint gun splatted crap out and completely ruined my first few coats, after sanding back to Matt finish and contemplating my options I decided I kinda liked it and could be a relic job!

Looks perfect to me. Teles need to look distressed., or they don't have any street cred. What pickups do you have in there?

I'd still like to try some TV Jones Classics but I'll wait to find a S/H pair.

So where is the stuff up exactly? I can only see awesome.

went from this
To this
And then binding done by Grant and now what you see here!
I’m still dispointed I haven’t managed a nice paint finish but I would have probably reliced it once finished anyway!
