After using a razor and 60 grit to get the caked on spray-paint off the face of the headstock, it is verified that this was once a jackson
. I haven't decided whether i am going to strip the headstock completly and buy a new jackson decal or salvage the old logo, but all signs point to strip, especially if im going to repaint it to match the body.
The back of the headstock isn't bad, im going to have to drill larger holes to fit the Grover tuners appropriately. I am also going to lightly sand and reseal the back of the headstock just to clean it up a bit.
I've taped off the fretboard for the ebony stain, theres two methods i could use to do this. Either by using a wood stain which is very messy or by using leather dye, which i can not find. I've tried De Serres, Michales, Canadian Tire, Rona all without luck, but im trying to find a local leather place, either for shoes, coats or furniture that might carry it.
So now its all preped and ready to go. Next time you see the neck hopefully it will be darker.
just keep strumming,
-Anthony
