Should I refinish?

[Bill SAS 513]

Noooo...add another axe!

To be clear, the guitar isn’t going anywhere. I’m not worried about resale. As much as I’d like to add a guitar, I don’t see that happening. As badass as it looks, I’ve kinda always felt it’s so hard to see the top which makes me sad cause it’s such an awesome piece of wood.

I think it looks great. The quilt is like power hidden under a cloak that you know is there.

No flash. Natural light. Hard to get good pic without glare that shows the awesomeness of the top.

Then I vote “no” all over again.

Like fifteen years ago I had a killer custom 22 that was a dark royal blue and I could barely make out the top unless I was right up on it. Was a ten top but I remember thinking I wish it was a lighter or different color.

 

[toothace]

Are the pics with flash?

I voted no.
1). It looks good now.
2). Refine is expensive
3). Put those funds towards another guitar

A very wise man has spoken...








That being said...

That's a killer quilt, and I like blue. So...there's that for ya!!

It’s your guitar, so there’s nothing wrong with making yourself happy!

 

[veinbuster]

This guitar is why I voted no. I just couldn’t change it, even though the quilt can get lost.

But do what feels right with yours.

Socrates believed that all human beings want to be happy and that happiness is the ultimate goal of all human activity.

And Carl Spackler quoted the Lama, “When you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

Does this have a maple top?

But how does the lama know, if he hasn’t already died (We’re ignoring the concept of reincarnation here for purposes of this discussion, since that’s unprovable as well)?

Based on this response, you know what to do!

I almost sold/traded my Cu22 on several occasions due to its appearance. Then I played it! In my case the refin was the thing that made it a keeper. Even though I did sell it in the purge, but got it back before CME sold it.

I voted no, bc it's rawk as is. Maybe some smoked chrome covers on the pickups?

However, if the PTC could do a gray-black fade on that top like mine...

How naughty did the guitar get before you made it go stand in the corner?

It was making some very naughty sounds.

This is exactly why I refuse to play my guitars any more. That’s all they know how to do.

That guitar is classy AF!
I'd keep it the way it is.
