I took up my very dormant project of refinishing an old electric guitar of mine, today. Â I found out that the reason it was so cheap, so heavy and had such lousy tone and sustain was because the body is made out of particle board. Â This has changed my plan for finishing it (I was going to go with a nice translucent something but now I’ll just paint it completely) and has also made me decide to change it from a strat rip-off to a telecaster rip-off. Â I am excited for tomorrow and I’ll probably post pictures when it’s done.
