Yep, my '62 is 41 mm....Connor wrote:Just a hair over 4cm.tonewoods wrote:So-ooo, how thin??Connor wrote:My only problem is that the body is SUPER THIN.
After watching this video, I'm surprised those JM bodies are even that close to one another...saandir wrote:59 gold guard refin 42mm

This looks very familiar, as I was at the stage you are at now a couple days ago....Connor wrote:So my concern now is to bleach or not to bleach? Is this even necessary on an opaque finish?
Glad to hear I'm not alone! Yeah, the black paint gooped off in a really weird way and stained anything it touched. I felt like Egon taking samples of ectoplasm in the library scene of Ghostbusters. I think it was of the outdoor oil based variety used for lawn furniture. Yech.tonewoods wrote: This looks very familiar, as I was at the stage you are at now a couple days ago....
I'm refinning a '62 as we speak, and my JM body looked exactly like yours does, with the dark edges...
You sir have impeccable taste. There's something dignified about the colour of the yellowing on the SB and the tastefully light relic job.tonewoods wrote: So-ooo, here's the look I'm going for, right down to the yellowing over the SB:

That's what I'm debating now. A burst finish will be pretty much impossible due the "repairs" on the top of the guitar. I'm tempted to go Oly since I think that was the original finish and because it was issued in '59 with a tort pickguard which I have. I am tempted to go with Shoreline Gold but since it wouldn't be vintage correct with the PG I'm not so sure. Maybe I get too hung up on these things though... Oh, and then of course there's black.tonewoods wrote:Do you know what colour you're going with??
