VIP Facelift

Post by GaryMadore » Fri Feb 03, 2017 9:02 pm

A friend saw what I was doing with my Vyps and asked me to make one of his (a VIP 3) pretty.

The grill cloth doesn't want to show up very well on photos taken with my phone. It's Fender silver/blue/teal in real life.

Thanks man.

He just came by to pick it up; he seemed pretty happy.

We're both air force, so I guess that's behind his choice of color scheme....

Cheers!

Well, er... Um... I didn't exactly get paid for it, exactly. Kinda not at all, come to think of it.

Dang, you were right: You can't make a living doing this ;)

Cheers!
