Hidden Agenda : A Salvage Yard for Erin Kurtz : Stripping Paint

Stripping Paint

January 31, 2007

When I was 16 or so my Uncle Brian gave me this late 70’s Epiphone after I accidentally dropped and ruined the guitar he loaned me to practice with. The Epiphone body had seen some wear, the body was painted a couple times and the frets were pretty worn down. About ten years ago I got a dumb idea to paint the Star Wars logo on it. This was before the Prequels…anyway I never finished it and it has been in pieces ever since.

So, I moved around Portland, Oregon with this broken guitar carcass for the past decade. Two weeks ago I decided to make this my new hobby; turn this broken instrument into a menace of metal madness.
