jaydentaku Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Ah, so, its been smeared with nutella and that's a finish is it? lol Quote
brensabre79 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Looks like someone started with a light coat of nitromors... ...then stuck it on ebay. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Someone could use a surface that abrasive to "file the frets nice and smooth"..... Quote
karlfer Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Not even I could arse it up that bad. Art it is you visionless ones you Quote
paul_5 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I wouldn't use the word 'finish' anywhere near that. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I posted this on FB and got this back. [color=#333333]I used a bollard the other day to make the front of my car "custom"[/color] Quote
MB1 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 MB1. If your cats been sick on that, I'd get it to the vets immediately! Quote
Commando Jack Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 It actually looks like a zomibe guitar, like it once had proper skin that was burned off by acid. It would be class for halloween! Signed, The eternal optimist Quote
scojack Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Gerrit beeswaxed ! Sorted. Edited August 24, 2012 by scojack Quote
tauzero Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 With the decline in the fortunes of bees this year due to the heavy rain, and the market being cornered by Mark D Phillips, the price of beeswax is likely to go through the roof. Quote
shizznit Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I had a Hohner strat copy when I was a kid that a painted with a can of silver car touch up paint. The paint reacted with the original finish and went flaky just that this guitar. Looked awful. Quote
Soloshchenko Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Cheers for the comments guys! I just won this! Er, awkward. I actually really like the fini...only joking. It looks like the spew of a student on a three day snakebite bender. I'll be sanding down and giving it a tung oil finish asap and looking for a cheap neck. Should make a half decent slide guitar fingers crossed. Quote
Soloshchenko Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Not as bad as first feared. Might actually be a candidate for a natural oil finish! [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/x6hik5.jpg[/IMG] Quote
