Bought this S-series a while ago and now customized it big time.

Well, I'm completely new to this board, because I used to be an ESP/LTD maniac, but ever since I played my brothers 90s S I fell in love.....

I found this one in a pawn shop for $290 like 2 years ago, to make a long story short,
then I stained the fretboard black,
stripped the guitar,
had it rebuilt and refinished by www.seufsrepair.com,
single coil cavity in the middle filled,
binding added and then put new pickups in.

I am very happy with the result and wanted to show here.

Even with just two pictures I exceed my quota, so to see all pictures and the entire story, go here:

Ha! Ha! Checked it out and it looks great. You did a real quality job there. The fingerboard work turned out amazing! Well done!!

Body binding is sweet.

That looks amazing. Great looking guitar, what a black guitar should look like.

Does the body have actual binding, or is it just painted on?

I don't blame you, you didn't read all the sh1t in the other thread.

:-)))

No, it's actual and real binding, that;s why I got so lucky I found Dave from seufsrepair, because everybody else turned me down and told me it's too much of a pain in the a.. on such a thin body and it won't look good, they actually told me to use pin stripe tape or paint it on....mhhhh......I don't think so!!!!

Almost bought a DY Gambale a while back actually, but I do have an s470 beat to hell though, the Sabers are great guitars.
