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.

Did you give Jim Mouradian a call?

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

what do you need done exactly?

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.

I can't remember what a crestwood looks like, do you have any pics? if it's just the body, I strip and refinish them for 350. necks are 150. hope this helps.

Those Yellow-Cresteds are really rare!

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

hey, i found that color at an auto supply store, so it's possible
