Ok so who wants to do a refinish for me? I was thinking about trying it myself but have little faith. Also, don't really have the best space to be doing it in either. I finally found a neck to fit my junky 70s Epiphone Crestwood so it's time to bring it back to life me thinks. I'm going to do a little more poking around locally but so far I'm not coming up with much.

Wow, I'm a dummy, how did I not even think of that? He's a pretty busy guy though so it could take a while, then again I'm not in a huge rush.

Depends on what you want, If no one else wants to, I might take a shot at it

Re: Ok so who wants to do a refinish for me?
The body was refinished once already and somewhat poorly, then there was some more stain on top of that so it needs to be stripped. Still not sure what I want to do color wise. It was routed for a 3rd pickup at some point but I think I'm gonna cut a new guard to cover the holes and just go with one P90 in the bridge. Hmmm, wonder what a TV Yellow Crestwood would look like.

Looks like a bright chrome yellow like the corvets are colored, or a perlesent yellow. Might look real good.
