Do you guys think I should do that, or is something like that not done? I don't know if a refinish kills all the collector/sentimental value or not, after all the new finish would be not original... PS I have pics out here (aside from the disaster at the back of the body I didn't take pics of picky details, but there are plenty...): http://www.freewebs.com/anders_d/ibanezdestroyerii.htm Pics of my current collection can be found here: http://community.webshots.com/user/anders_destium   Laaz (Laaz) Posted on Thursday, January 08, 2004 - 9:15 pm:    Hi Anders. The Destroyer you have there is a DT-50FR. The paint is up to you. I don't see you losing any value by painting it, as the Tuners / Pickups / Knobs are not original. I have one that is beat to hell as well. I let my friends play around with it when they come over. I also have 5 setneck Destroyer's.   Anders_Destium (Anders_Destium) Posted on Saturday, January 10, 2004 - 10:21 am:    Thanks for the info! If I would make changes it will probably be in the summer, so I've got plenty of time to think things over!
