Takemyscars72

Hey guys , just recently got a very nice Jackson Soloist but im really thinking of getting it painted or sprayed and wanted to know if anyone knew a good place that did this and if anyone has an ideas as to what kinda paintjob I should get ? Crazy artwork ideas are welcome.

I know that Eugene in the Guitar Workshop has done some resprays. He is worth checking out.

Here is an example of his work from his website.

You could do it yourself OP for cheaper (very cheap actually). With a bit of patience it is very easy. I did it myself a while ago to an old warlock I had lying around, and it made me love the little guy all over again...

What's the soloist like now? I wouldn't try and paint a nice guitar like that myself without having gone over a few beaters, definitely take it to a pro. Getting a guitar finished well yourself can be tricky if you are painting it and not just oiling it. It's better to do it with good spraying equipment and with a decent space to let it dry properly. I'm not sure of anyone that does it but a lot of auto repair guys will spray a guitar for you if you prep it first.
As for ideas, I'm a sucker for the rising sun graphic. Mess around on this for some ideas! http://www.jcribas.com.ar/Guitar%20generator/LPSCustomGuitarGen.htm
