All,

I am thinking of adding a plain top to my collection and am looking for a light burst / sunrise tea burst type of finish. They seem hard to come by so I may need to get an LP with a different top and have it refinished.

Is there anyone in the UK / Europe who specialises in refinishing tops on LPs? I would be grateful for any suggestions preferably with links where sample work can be seen.

Many thanks,

Albert

Florian Jaeger, at Jaeger Guitars, in Oberstdorf Germany has the skills. :)

I can also recommend Clive Brown in Yorkshire and Mathias Schindehütte in Frankfurt.

whom ever you get check some references first before shipping it out ...I was quoted a four month turnaround about a year ago and still no guitar.
