1974 deluxe..seen this before?

guitplayer · Apr 25, 2018

Cherry red deluxe. I just had it in the basement with a blacklite.
The whole guitar is right. One piece of the mahogany neck(3 piece)
is uniformly down the length not stained or did not take stain/paint.
Opinions?

Customer request? The natural area is so precise. I did that job (not sonprecise) with my epiphone sg "glue neck", to slide easier.

The different pieces of wood can/will hold stain differently. Not usually so obvious, but it happens. :hmm

Thanks Wilko. Took some more pics. With blacklite.

Or perhaps they were drunken or stoned that day in the factory. :hee

Have you posted this before? If not there was another similar one posted in the last few years. They were not using red stain then. The cherry red was sprayed and I cannot think of a reason to explain that. Odd, is an understatement. I have no idea but I cannot say it is stock, or not.

No,I`ve not posted before. I`ve had the guitar for about 7 years now.
Yeah real odd.

Awesome...thanks. This one I have might be considered a 73.
Pots date to 44th week of. But that not much time to get it out.:hmm
