Sterling by Musicman AX40 w/Tinted neck

[SouthernILL]

I've had this one for a few weeks and this weekend got some time to break her down and install Big Block and pull the neck and hit it with some tint......still have a nice satin feel to the neck.

These Sterlings are such a nice bang for the buck guitar. Love it.

Wow, that looks really nice! +1 for the value for money argument.

That does look really nice.

An alternative is to sand the neck down and tru oil it. That would naturally age with play. I find that the tiger stripes become more prominent with age on my guitars.

What did you use to tint the neck?

 

[SouthernILL]

Thanks for the comments...........

Tinted lacquer was used on mine.
I sanded the light sealer coat back,wiped with Naptha(lighter fluid) removed machine heads and Floyd nut,masked the headstock and tinted to taste.Spray right over the frets,lacquer comes right off afterwords.

Your welcome......not a thing "wrong" with mine.
Just going for for a certain look/vibe.
Y'all are doing real good SBMM.

yeah that looks real good. I'm going to look at those new Black trans AX40's. Those tops look really good for the money!
