    Do you think it's a Chibson, or a unfinished guitar kit some bought off eBay, and spruced up?

    I not the OP of this thread. I'm just posting this because I'm curious if any of you fellas on here have seen this 16 page thread on this R9 Les Paul?

    Here is my refinshed 2016 Les Paul after 30 days of UV exposure.

    I actually ended up selling that Marshall combo this past Wednesday. To fund the Kemper in the current pic I posted. I also have a Marshall 2525c Silver Jubilee, so that other combo was getting neglected.

    Ended up having to take 72hrs of call this weekend, so I was pretty much confined to the house. Luckily for me even though it was 4 degrees out it was sunny and I totally took advantage of it.

    Here is my refinshed 2016 Les Paul after 30 days of UV exposure.

    I thought about doing that. I'm also considering stripping the rest of the guitar and refinishing it with true old school red dye and lacquer. Even with all that UV exposure, the red on the back and sides didn't even fade.

    Here is my refinshed 2016 Les Paul after 30 days of UV exposure.

    I didn't want a honeyburst, and I stripped it because I wanted to see what colors Gibson actually used to spray the original light burst finish that was on it.

    Here is my refinshed 2016 Les Paul after 30 days of UV exposure.

    I still have ways to go. I ultimately wanted it to where you can barely see any red(which is fading to a weak brown) when taking a pic.

    -What is BOTB? - When I am at where I finally want to be on the fade. I am going to remove all the hardware take a few pics and post it on this thread for everyone to see. - I also have a few UVA bulbs I should try using to see what it does.
