Black to White

Post by wittyair »

I'm not a particularly handy person as my wife will gladly attest so it was extremely daunting when I set
out this afternoon to change black to white. With the help of Kevin Kuney and his parts drawer and an
assist from Jerry Arnett I present the fruits of my labor. I don't imagine there are very many white/chrome
guitars out there.

I know I'm in the minority here when I say i generally prefer the BT on solid colored guitars.... :?

Still looks nice though, and I'm glad you were able to get all the parts (cause half chrome half black looks horrible)!

Craig, it looks great!

I am glad that I could play a small role in the transformation.
