Billy Martin SE - "Custom Green"

[aphantomvaper]

For some reason I purchased this horror with the intent of refinishing it. It's painted with horrible spray can green paint that's gummy and hard to get off.

My niece wanted a guitar, she's trans and alt and different. I offered the guitar and it was an immediate YES!

So off it goes, SE bag, Tuner, Esteban amp, some green Dunlop .75 picks and my problem is released. The green color was the part she likes best.

Project ended well, with little elbow grease.

It's actually a cool guitar with the wrap bridge, and the bridge studs are indeed brass! It sounds really great after a setup and a de-smoking.

Oh...and some upgraded Abalone black control knobs for extra flair!

I think it’s awesome you offered that up to your niece. The project looks great.

Awesome gesture! What a great Uncle!

I can't fault you for picking it up. I've almost done it a time or two on a whim myself. The price was right and the uniqueness was drawing me in.

Currents reports have it as the guitar has been in hand constantly since it was given. I'm glad it went over well.

Tuners and strings for Christmas

Thanks for the encouragement guys!
