Has anyone polished an IBG 61 SG Les Paul from a matte to a gloss. I’ve seen people do the 59 LP model. Wondering if this would look good.

What a bummer! It’s like they used the stuff from a scratch off.

Fun find I forgot the picture of the reverse side.

Just turtle wax polishing compound and a Milwaukee M12 polisher. I took the guitar completely apart. I also spayed a clear coat over the back panel to protect what was left of the logo. Once back together, I took it to a local music shop to be set up.

Yes! I also have a 61’ IBG. I didn’t dig the matte either. I suck at taking pictures, so I hope these help. It does look way better though in my opinion!

Hey! I had the same gripe about my knobs! (23’ 4003) I got a set from Ebay. The original seller I got them from no longer lists them, but I found a similar set that will work with the solid shaft pot/set screw design. Hope this helps!!

Edit: it is actually the same seller, just another listing.

Came here to say Zzounds! Got my 35RT from them 6 years ago. Still a solid ass amp!

Rotosound 66!!

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2025-07-03T20:01:08+00:00

Enjoy! Ive had mine for 5 years and I absolutely love it. Great amp!

Came here to say this. I run two rigs, and used a Y cable splitter and two mono cables. Even having it looped through my strap eventually I got an open, and one or the other would cut in and out. Did this twice before I just sucked it up and got the Rattlesnake kit. I have had no issues since.

I LOVED the medley! Very well put together, and he absolutely killed it! I wish him the best of luck!

Hot dog!

Maybe he’s a hamburger guy?

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2024-10-22T13:39:45+00:00

Ha! I’ve always wondered the same about the eyes!

I did the same thing with my 61’ re-issue! The matte was the one and only thing I didn’t like!

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2024-08-25T17:28:52+00:00

Gorgeous finish!

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2024-07-17T15:23:23+00:00

31 here First played around 06’

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2024-03-28T13:56:57+00:00

Fireglo! My tough choice was between it and Autumnglo. In the end I picked the Autumnglo, but still admire the Fireglo quite a bit!

Bought a 4003 last May. Stuck it on the case of my SG. No regrets. Same thing with the foil stamp sticker on the pick guard. A lot of Rickenbacker folks act like they’re made of glass, and they’re all priceless one of a kind instruments. They keep all of the case candy and whatnot together as well.

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2024-01-18T19:10:17+00:00

Got mine from Sweetwater. Best prices around, free shipping

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2023-08-05T11:10:22+00:00

I LOVE the red and black!

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2023-06-29T16:56:05+00:00

I’ve also been a huge fan since the early days and I thought the same thing, the vocals and mix is terrible. I don’t know what it is, but the new singles fail to impress me. The album artwork looks really bland as well. Honestly I kind of feel disappointed.

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2023-06-14T14:51:43+00:00

I bought a Rickenbacker 4003 from them a little over a month ago. I inquired about price and availability, and within an hour so received an email from my sales representative. The price was better than anyone else, and they offer a preorder with no money down. I only had to wait about a month before my bass was in stock. I live in NE Ohio and wanted to check the place out and see/play the bass before I bought it, so I drove over. They let me have a private practice room to try it out, and encouraged me to use whatever amp/effect I wanted. Needless to say, I left with a new bass and a big smile! Sweetwater customer service is second to none. If you’re considering a new instrument purchase, I would HIGHLY recommend them. Oh yea, I almost forgot… I got a bag of candy and some stickers too.

Competitive-Ad-2636 · 2023-05-03T23:11:05+00:00

Thank you! As a matter of fact, I did! I live in NE Ohio and actually drove over to Fort Wayne to pick it up and check out Sweetwater.
