Color Chart

 

Paint, a controversial yet extremely important topic. Some builders and guitar enthusiasts insist that they hear a difference the way an instrument is painted, some dispute this claim. We agree with the first theory, either way why take a chance. This is why all our finishes are shot in a very thin skin that in time shrinks back allowing the wood to breathe. For our traditional style guitars and basses our painter shoots extremely fine coats of nitrocellulose lacquer commonly used on guitars built during the 1950's & 1960's matching the colors, texture, hue, hardness, luster, and sheen , recreating a result no longer found nor practiced by most builders. On some of the more modern style instruments our painter uses a poly finish that he sprays in ultra fine layers sometimes even thinner than the lacquer used on our classics. With the correct techniques used by our painter a great look without the compromise of tone is achieved.


Computer monitors do not always portray perfect color reproduction. Theses paint chips are only for comparison.
