Beautiful finish, the paint shop should be commended. Whose concept was it to go for that kind of finish?

Another beautiful guitar, mate. You seem to always turn me on to finishes I wouldn't have given a second thought to usually, heh.

The finish colour was Will's idea
I knew it could be done , and we did it on a tester first
But I rejected a lot of tries to get it right before I was happy we had it right
I just wanted a certain amount of transparency/opaqueness - which we got right in the end
I drove my paint guys mad in the meantime :evil:
It's the main reason it took most of this year to perfect the technique.

Thanks so much to Will for his patience - hope the final result is worth it.

Stunning guitar. I like the color, though I'm not to keen on gold parts, but for this guitar it's seems the best choice.

I think the biggest act of willpower is in allowing Will to have the guitar!  There's no way I could do what Jonathan does (aside from the fact that I'm hopelessly inept at woodwork :roll:) - it would break my heart to build such a beautiful guitar, then sell it to someone...

Happy NGD Will :)

I haven't shown the photo here yet , but of course it has my all access neck joint.
The neck is a nice big '59 spec neck but top fret access is still easy

Nice to hear Will's got his guitar at last!  :D

I like the way the top's got just enough grain to show through the finish.  What is it, "plain" maple?

just plain maple Philly ;) Wouldn't have it any other way

Philly only plays AAAAA grade quilt maple tops or higher.

beautiful guitar Will and Jon, you must be very pleased. I like the finish alot. A V would be cool with that look....
