  • charvel 375 deluxe paint job?

    I just bought this old charvel 375 deluxe on ebay and it has some knicks< I kind of want to strip the old finish and get it painted transparent purple, dyed or mabey an 80s type finish. Should I or should I not, and any more color ideas? Its cherryburst btw.

    It's a basswood body, I wouldn't spend the money, personally.

    But, it's your guitar. :dunno:

      Lots of body prep and you can get a good paint job for little out lay.

              Trans purple, preferably quilted/ If you can get an ebony neck and gold hardware, even better.

                I might end up just getting a USA charvel neck insted of an import neck. I wish I could find aersol trans purple.

                  An 80s type finish to me is solid color.... and you're suggesting that on this fine flame maple top and back? It would be a shame! If you sand it, watch out when you reach the veneer. In fact, I would consider the stripping job to be very difficult due to the very thin veneer having been sprayed red. Unless the veneer got a coat of clear before being painted.
