I've have these tucked away in the corner thinking about what to do with them.
'03 LP DC Special. I have a pair of Lindy Fralin P90 hum-free pups for this. Basically, just a refinish. However, every time that I look at it, it grows on me a little more.
Old MIJ Mini Strat. Plan to turn it into a Mandola.

Hi Larry,
Did you do the painting and the routing on the LP? I like it.
Is that mahogany I see?
I`ve been trying to decide which airbrush I`m going to purchase so I can do work like I see on the L.P. For me personally, some murals look a little too bling bling on a guitar, but accents and shading interest me. I think I would also like to take a shot at painting some sort of outer space scene on a black Strat or Tele.
The mini 8 string looks fun. Change the bridge, cut a new nut, drill a few holes, and Bob`s your uncle. I think I would try to manage the string trees a little differently although

I didn't do that. However, I did get a real good deal on it because of the artwork. lol It's oil(?), like on canvas. It's got texture. Kinda sharp on the forearm.
and yes, mahogany

My ex-wife was an artist/painter/sculptor, and yup that looks like oil based paint. One could do it with acrylic I suppose, but most likely that`s oil, and, I wonder what the mahogany looks like under it...like if the oil has affected the wood?
Certainly a nice base for a project.

I remember seeing these before--the mandolin idea is greta.
Hope it works out.
The other one is more matter of taste, and looks.
But I think if i had the means I'd change it.
But if anybody likes it--cool.
