I’m going to start off this thread by explaining to you what I mean by the term “Face Lift.” I have a few guitars in need of one. I am going to be leaving this thread as not open for reply for now, at least until I get the first guitar done. I have an 1985 Aria Pro II Knight Warrior and a 1985 Ibanez RG 110 that are in need of a little cosmetic restoration. They have plenty of scratches and other minor blemishes that need a little care. They are all original. They will get disassembled , cleaned, scratches filled and polished out, and then reassembled and set back up.
My Brian May Replica is kind of in the same boat. I will provide detailed pics of that one under the hood of that one as well. This may wind up turning into a few threads as I can only add 10 pics to each thread entry.
And now for some pics of the first victim…
The Knight Warrior has a lot of fine scratches that don’t show up well in the pics. This is where I will Start and I will update as things progress. It’s coming apart.
I should also add…don;t be too shocked at all the stuff scattered around the guitar on the floor in the pics. I’m disabled and can’t stand in one spot for too long. It precludes me from being able to have a work bench, and I would just wind up on the floor anyway. So I just sit on the floor and do my work there in my guitar room.
