V Customisation
Hello fellow Epiphone lovers! I bought myself a silverburst 70s Flying V back in February, and I've recently done a bit of cosmetic work to it...
I've never been a fan of dot inlays, so I got some Fretlook inlay stickers to cover them over. They were fairly easy to get on, I think they look pretty good, and I don't think they'll come off any time soon, so I'd recommend them! The only issue was that the dots at the 12th fret seemed to be further apart than on most guitars. The actual sticker for the 12th fret is one slightly longer bar, but it didn't quite cover the dots, so I ended up cutting it up a bit to make a custom solution for that fret.
As for the pickguard... That's wallpaper! I did the same thing on another guitar a few years ago, and I thought it looked really cool, so I thought I'd give it another go with the V. This is "Lykke Tree" wallpaper, stuck to the pickguard with Mod Podge. The hardest part was waiting 4 weeks for it to cure fully.
I'm really pleased with the result, and I look forward to getting out gigging with it soon!
