SG refinished in Silver-Green Metallic

Post by NICQ » Tue Sep 22, 2020 5:22 am

I bought a Gibson-Baldwin SG used for 40eur - it's a cheap entry level guitar and it came without pickups, electronics and tuners... I did like the binding though and always wanted to have a greenish silver SG ... for 40 eur I couldn't resist ;)


Here's the original guitar :

After roughing the finish up - ready for primer:

Covered the binding with masking tape for the colour coat (removed it before clear so the binding is flush with neck)

No pics of primer because boring ;)

Sprayed the headstock black because... Gibson

Then applied 2 coats of silver green metallic on body and neck :

Assembled the guitar and installed GFS GF'Tron Alnico V pickups and Kluson Revolution Tuners in Creme/Mint :

After a fret level and new nut it plays really good and sounds very nice as well - really like those pickups... of course not as Filtertron as the real thing but for the price they are pretty decent I'd say !
