Re: Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Relic Project
How did you make the fretboard look like that? It's got a real nice aged look to it. It looks awsome!

Re: Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Relic Project
If we're talking about the finish...once wet sanded...it's just a question of NOT buffing to a full shine..

Re: Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Relic Project
This thread makes me want to cry
I hope you're happy with the result though, after all it's your guitar. I just could never do that to a Gibby.

Re: Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Relic Project
Not my favorite burst color but looks good nonetheless!
I like the uneven burst pattern.

Re: Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Relic Project
Sick relic, the one thing that you should put back, is the wear on the front of the guitar where your forearm rests, you had it there before you redid the finish, and I think it really gives the guitar that look of not only is it old, but it has been played endlessly
