I've had this guitar for almost 2 years now, and I bought it off ebay just for this project, which is pretty much my dream guitar. (The blonde 59 is dream guitar 1A.) It was a refin body and neck, so it was the perfect candidate. As cool as the old refin looked, it use to flake off in these really sharp pieces when I would play. It actually freaking hurt.
It was pretty much all there, except for some extra grounding wire and an odd double extension of the neck pickup lead. Here are some before pics:
Here are the after pics:
The color is somewhere in the middle of those pics. It's hard to photograph, but it's amazing in person.
