That's called a partial refinish, not a build.

Good luck with the project.

tired of the same old looking ml guitars and dimes. I love the feel of them but just cant get into the paint jobs they have and also not a sig guy.. So i figured ill just redo one and put my own twist on it!!! Will be my own sig Laughing

For sure, it's definitely a big project that requires balls to do.

I wasn't trying to down play the job at all. It's just that from what I see on other forums, the word "build" is over used.

To the OP, please be sure to post pics of the progress! Cool

Cool. So are you going to cut the ML horns to a similar shape like this guitar?

Call me wierd, but I simply CAN'T get into a guitar if I can;t see the wood. don;t know why. solid colors or prins = can't see the wood... I don;t know, I just play them for a few minutes and feel like "meh". its probably all in my head.
