So I have recently come in to some good fortune and was thinking about buying a couple of friends of mine, some guitars
Friend #1
Is a punk rocker, and his dream guitar is a Gibson Les Paul. A shiny brand new LP would look weird on him. What I had thought about doing was taking it to a luthier. having just the body paint COMPLETELY removed right down to the mahogany.. have it painted by some PROPER graffiti artist. then send it back to the Luthier and have it sealed, with some clear knobs and pick guard to show off the work and put all the bits back on tuned and ready to bang. (Not touching the neck...AND Yes i know it will devalue the heck out of the guitar, and affect the tone.)
2 questions.
1. Can anybody recommend a few quality luthiers in the southeast, USA?
2. What would be a good spray paint to work on the wood that doesn't orange peel..
Friend #2
a good buddy of mine will be clean for 2 years in Feb. Long story but he hocked all his gear for H. Sad. Well now he is on a comeback and I couldnt be more proud of him. So for his 2 year anniv, he is getting a guitar.
He played a Fender Strat in an HSS config. I wanted him to have an American standard, but all the ones I see are SSS.
Any help would be MORE than appreciated.
thanks so much for listening. looking forward to your replies
