srvwannab Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Some time ago I picked up one if those cherry Gibson Explorers locally (pretty cheap) and thought... This would be a great guitar for a refinish. So, after doing my research, I learned that if you want metal flake, the best on the planet was Stike. Without much direction, I told him to have at it. I'm floored! Could. Not. Be. Happier! Got a few pics this week and it was shipped today. What an artist!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorch Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It’s a shame Stike is US based. I have Blitz bass that’s seeking color. Fantastic design and color. The back side is fantastic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtrdaddy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Joe, was that design your idea? Stike did an amazing job! That looks just incredible. It's without a doubt one of the coolest finishes I've ever seen. LOVE IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Ed ever had any of his show cars with that type of design but I was trying to keep a 60's SoCal hotrod vibe. I wish that pickguard wasn't there.
