Hello!
Its been long since this project was finished but every time I play the guitar I like it even more!
I got a 1981 LS 50 in junk condition - top was stripped and the back was painted in something like a black marker on top of the red poly paint.
I sanded the top and back all the way and refinished it in Shellac.
I also painted the top gold with a water based color (base finish shellac - gold paint - and final finish layers shellac)
It looks so nice and feels perfect in the hand (the phone pics don't do much justice but I think you can see it's a beautiful guitar!)
