Cool! I'm about to do the same to my R8. Did you remove all the hardware before? I assume you polished by hand?
Thanks!

All the hardware exept the tonepots. Took the knobs away though. Did the polishing by hand yes. Only took a few minutes.

Looks great. I have been on the fence about purchasing a VOS or Gloss 59' Custom, so now leaning towards the VOS.

Beautiful guitar - lovely flame. Love the colour - is it a tea burst? and what year is it?

The finish looks great, I'm more of a gloss man than VOS but that looks great imo.

Thanks man. Yes, tea burst. 2013.

I hate VOS. All the one's I've had have gone through a ritual of stripping down of all parts, polishing and buffing, and having the rusty screws soaked in rust remover.

I love vintage looking metal parts and finish but the VOS on my Lester looked like crap.
