looks great. I wouldn't do anything different (except maybe I would have added a stinger). but love the color you chose.

Now that you mentioned, a stinger would be uber cool and appropriate

Can't wait to see Lazarus next to it's sisters so we can check the fades

Serios question out of curiosity: That refin process was really quick. Is that actually the time it took to finish LPs in the 50ies? I thought that lacquer finishes are very time intensive due to the repeated spraying, drying and buffing?
How many layers did Lazarus get, and how many were done originally on bursts?
:salude

I thought the same thing. I wonder how long the actual time took.

Personally am very glad y'all went with faded! Looks fantastic! :dude:

Triburst · Jan 9, 2020

WOW! Beautiful guitar. Congrats, guys.

It has been WAY too long since I've seen one of Kim's threads on a Historic Makeover, and this vintage makeover was great.

Also, it is hard to believe someone ever covered up that great maple top, but I'm glad you guys basically won the lottery on uncovering it!

Musicman · Jan 9, 2020

Very cool! But how's it sound? :hmm

zorglub! · Jan 10, 2020

Super nice restoration for an uber cool guitar, many thanks for sharing! :salude

akstrat61 · Jan 10, 2020

What an amazing transformation! Congrats to all involved. :dude:

It’s nice to see these guitars get back to playing order. I’m hoping we get to hear what she sounds like in this thread? :hank

J.D. · Jan 10, 2020

Can we see the headstock crack post-refinishing?

Metallic finishes like Candy Apple Red have a metallic undercoat.

I thought they were refinishing Lucy at first ........
