I finally decided to just get the new reissue and have professional painter to refinish it.
the guitar finish painter is the one who did finishes for Motley Crue and some other famous artists. http://www.martybellfinishing.com
the color will be yellow (with matching headstock), and dark orange competition stripes.
the whole process will cost about $1150. the new reissue is $699 from Mr.Music, and the rest are for the refinish and shipping.
