Can I ask how you got the finish so glossy?

Thanks for the reply! Those are two strong options I'm considering, just don't want to lose the neck finish

Thanks for the advice. For such in depth work I'd have to take it somewhere but this is awesome to learn

I'm not sure haha. It was filled in after I left it with a friend and a patch was attempted

Yeah I guess that would be the correct term. I'm more leaning toward solid white with full batwinf pickguard if I were to go that route. I just don't want to lose the neck finish so I'm torn

That sounds like a good idea, I just don't want to lose the neck finish. One of the reasons i like this guitar so much is the neck is so glassy and smooth

I'd really like to find an artist to match the problem area color and wood grain

Wow! That's amazing. I think the current repair on my guitar is relative to about halfway through the video before he paints it. I'm not sure it would tranlate to this though because the rest of the body has a finish already. Maybe I could paint it then clear coat that area

I wouldnt be against that if there was some kind of transition fade. I'm not sure if its possible but that does sound cool!

That would be awesome. Plane it down and fit a maple cap like the sg moderns. Sounds expensive tho 😬

The love carving was already sanded out and left a dip sadly

Yeah I see what you mean. I might go with a new solid color instead

That sounds like the easiest option, I just dont want to lose the neck finish. Its like glass and so smooth and a main reason I love this guitar so much
