I came across a Modern Player Telecaster Plus earlier this year, and within a week, put several large dings in it! :cry:
Well, the Honey Burst finish this guitar came with was beautiful, but not really my style, and with the dings I decided to take the plunge and refinish it.
I went back and forth on what color to paint it, and what customization options to use, then I noticed my wife still had some chalkboard spray paint leftover from a previous project, so I went for it.
I used Durham's to fill the dings, Ace Premium White Primer and Rust-Oleum Chalboard rattle cans. It gives it a nice matte grey look.
There's no clear coat on there now, and I'm debating whether or not to "chalk" it. I think I might get some of that chalk paint they use on coffee shop menus and make some art. Or not.
I also swapped out the black pickguard for a Nashville Tele red tort ( I had to drill new holes and cut it to make room for the extra fret, as you can see ) and put the skirted amp style knobs on it.
I think it looks pretty sweet!
