LTD Project EC-300AT Semi Hollow
Yep, So, heres the next one that I am working on, I just laid the base coat, gonna wait a bit and get the LTD headstock logo to put under the clear coat though. I believe I am going to put Duncan jb/59 pups in it as well. I was originally going to go with blue, but in the spirit of the upcoming holiday, also my fav, it is Hugger Orange. The exact color of the old school camaros, and the new camaro. Couldn't help it, I had some paint left over and I can't afford a Camaro, so. :) I promise the next one will be 10x cooler and unique. with strngthbyndstrngth's help of course. ;) http://www.kerbeck.com/kerbeck/kerbeck.nsf/(Images)/A491AD3F6EA43119852570270074B770/$FILE/DSC05700.jpg http://www.carsandtuning.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/orange-camaros.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/DSC00236.jpg It looked like Elvis's guitar.. also, had two cracks in the body which I believe should be fixed now. unless they decide to show up in a year or so. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/DSC00238.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/DSC00269.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/callmewhatyouwill/DSC00268.jpg It will have black hardware as well. I see the Jh-3 decals in black, would that look silly? Kind of wanted to do some sort of striping design, but I'm haven't really found anything that jumps out at me. Input more than welcome. :)

Lol walley. the fail on that black ec400 was the headstock, and that is prepped and ready to be refinished finally. I like Gophers latter suggestion... "theres always more paint right?" its costly but yep. I was thinking of leaving it kind of like that, but doing a semigloss clear coat instead of the gloss. the semi gloss i put on the blackec400, DOES NOT SCRATCH or show anything. its pretty nice... but i do like the distressed look.. you have no idea how fun it is to sand on something that looks that nice lol.

The idea I have in my head right now, since theres only 2 layers of paint on this one, I cant do the truckster style look. I was thinking to sand on it with maybe some higher grit wetsanding paper, like just around the edges, dull it down some, bring some orange through the black, but NOT giving it the truckster trademarks of ya know, sanding where your hand rests, or around the knobs. the orange on the stripe would do it well enough. gonna take a bit to get it like that, but i think its worth a shot, could come out really sweet, otherwise, theres more paint... not much more, but some.
