Are you restoring two of them?

>>1189310
one of them wasn't worth restoring, so i took the useful parts from it and transfered it to the other one (frets for example)

and this is it.

oh and by the way:
it sounds like ass.

Looks worse then when you started. Did you use mildew stain or something you degenerate?

>>1189351
put black on the edges and rubbed it for the used look.

i like it dirty

>>1189347
ugh
would look better without the shitty key symbol and the lock thing on the right

did you use actual dirt to stain thing? would have applied an original tone or just wax if a used look was the goal

I'm always mad as fuck after I ruin a project after a whole days work. I always pretend like that shit is 100, but inside all I can see is red when I look at it.

>Looks worse then when you started.
This. OP took two pretty, if old, instruments and destroyed one to turn the other into an abomination.
OP was a faggot. Another normal day at 4chan.
