So glad you went with a gold top, I bet you cant wait to play it!
...the first clear coat has been applied to the dark filler...
...tinted laquer is used to achieve just the right hue of dark chocolate brown...
...the depth and warmth of the darkback will be further enhanced by additional ambered clear coats...
Looks great so far! Have you decided on the amount and type of relicing you want? Any greening of the gold lacquer?
Beautiful color choice.. it will contrast perfectly against the gold top!I hope it doesn't get any darker, because IMO that is about the perfect dark back color! It's turning out great so far!
Florian and I have not discussed the relicing of the guitar yet. Greening is definitely on the table as are several other options.
At the moment I am collecting sample pictures of vintage goldtops to get some ideas, but I try to keep my mind open as much as possible.
Anything between a lightly aged attic find and a complete mutt is possible, though both of these extremes are rather unlikely. Something in between.
