  • Baretta II

    Thought I'd give anyone that cared a little play by play on my latest project.
    This one was a lot of work. I bought the body while I was in Afghanistan and she had been re finished. And the re fin went pad. Clear was peeling and paint was wrinkled. Still really soft. She looked like this.



    So I start taking the finish off, and it literally peeled off like tape it was so soft. Anyway I get thru the primer a bit and I see FLIP FLOP!



    So after hours and hours (and hours) of wet sanding and some rubbing compound...



    Finished her up a couple of days ago with a Duncan Distortion. All I have left to do is correct TR cover, tuners and a real Floyd.



    And with my all original Pacer...



    They sure look good together don't they?!

    Really nice save Bud, and good work bringing that purty flip-flop blue back to life.

      So, they sell Baretta bodies in Afghanistan? Or you bought it online and sent home, on eBay. I think it's the second one
      I wish my hair-color was EDS :/

              Dude, judging by your hand in pic #1, you must be really tiny! You've got a cool color jacket on there though!







              Seriously, great restoration and thanks for the nice pics!
