This guitar came to us in an abysmal state. Painted green with a brush and housepaint, directly onto the woodgrain. the customer wanted us to sand it back to get a lovely Mahogany wood grain finish. The odds of getting this were nonexistent. But we didn’t give up there. Will Beckwith worked his usual finishing magic and tirelessly sprayed the entire body and neck a beautiful off white. Working through such problems as moths and flies being attracted to the drying white paint and getting stuck inbetween coats, much to his disdain. But the end product was totally worth it, we installed a bigsby, cleaned up all the original hardware and a put on a new set of machine heads. It came up looking pretty spiffy indeed.
