One of our customers brought in this awesome all black Les Paul but wanted to go with a natural finish on the back, sides and neck…leaving the top in its original condition. We masked off the top and pockets then start stripping, scraping and sanding the rest of the guitar. It can be a lot of work to properly get all of that finish off, but it should be pretty sweet once completed…a very cool look. We will keep adding more photos as things move along…keep checking back.
