I know I am the odd duck here but if my Pelham blue 2011 EB11 ever turns green …… as much as I love it, I will have to sell it!
Why not give it a refinish?

I don't know about @BPE but I can't draw a stickman with a ruler and I failed 9th grade woodworking shop. If I tried sanding the original finish on the body, it would be down to the size of a domino and still not right. Just like an oil change on my car...I'd hire it out.
The sanding part, while sucky, is "easy" on a flat slab we like that. Getting the new finish even with the clear is a bit more of a painI don't know about @BPE but I can't draw a stickman with a ruler and I failed 9th grade woodworking shop.

I wonder if an auto body shop would do that? Good luthiers are not always easy to find
I know the good ones like Wilkins will ship internationally though

The first thing a finisher learns is how to sand. It's not rocket science, all it takes is giving a ship and a willingness to learn. Hopefully you've progressed from ninth grade. Me, I never took shop.

Nah, I learned my lesson and switched to electrical engineering. I did hardware and software design and then systems design, before finishing as a consultant.The first thing a finisher learns is how to sand.

Well, I won't take a potentially 1400.00 to 2000.00 Gibson bass "depending on condition" and turn it into a 500.00 bass.
I don't care how you cut it, but that's just me.

You can have my '65 for a tenth of that.
Oh brother you just keep on digging these out like there's no tomorrow...
Love the colour combo on that one, would most definitely hate the bridge...

Possibly, but I'll give them a pass, Asians working off a picture.
What's Gibson's excuse for the Evertilt?
