Here is My SG Build Project Husk...
- Thread starter Sp8ctre
- Start date
This is what I'll be putting together in the next couple weeks.
The body has that unfilled kind of dull look. Any ideas how to
make it nice and shiny without a total refin???
Very nice!
Yep. I do like it.

Is your headstock 3 pieces like my 2016 SG T Series????

Looks like it is. The body may be three pieces as well, but it's so well done it looks like one piece...

I heard some good stuff about this a few years ago & used it on 2 guitars. You can buff it and really work it but I just put a layer of polish on and wiped it away to take the dry feeling away from a couple faded series.
I don't know if you can tell from that pic but I used it on the black one. I don't want to fight Photobucket right now for the other pics. Well maybe I will.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that out!
Yes. My body is clearly one piece, but the headstock has "wings" glued on at the edge of each set of tuning keys....
Looking forward to watching the progress on this project!
Cool project. I did a gloss lacquer overspray on my SGJ.
Just the body & headstock. Wet sanding between coats to fill the pores & level the surface.
Just have to be careful not to sand thru to the color. Easy does it at this point.
Started at 600 grit and worked my way up to 2500 then a 3000 grit foam pad.
The finish ends up being pretty close to the finish on my 2005 61RI.
You can still see the grain but the finish is smoother & glossier.

Flitz wax?
The back of the neck on my 2016 Gibson SG T Series (worn brown) has gotten quite shiny from playing it.
