New Refin Day

peteri

Sometime ago I got a lovely 66 Tele which had been stripped.

Love the guitar, but the wood was completely bare - and I wanted some finish to protect it, toyed with the idea of clear lacquer but in the end went for a full nitro refin by @IvisonGuitars ;;

Body came back today, after a quick hour putting it back together (hats off to Leo, if I can do it in that time - he got it right), and couldn't be happier.

Still plays and sounds great but now looks like something finished too.

Went from this:

Couldn't be happier, lovely job - just a tiny bit of relic'ing, I didn't want that 'oh you put the guitar in the freezer and then towed it behind your car' look, just a few dings and wear and I'll do the rest.

Neil is so easy to 'work' with, I wish I had more that needed painting! Consider this a recommendation.

Saw this on Neil’s Instagram feed - he’s a talented bloke, isn’t he?

Still got the Esquire, bit pokier than this one (this one being more rounded etc.) one day (simply because of the amount of money tied up in it) the Esquire will have to wander off into the sunset mind. But keeping both for now!

(Talking about a 56 White Guard I'm also lucky enough to own)

Looks like Dan from That Pedal Show's Red guitar! Lovely job

Very nice job, and good colour choice.  Congrats.
