Cabronita build
« on: January 22, 2013, 05:20:05 PM »
just an assembly job on this one.   Its one of those where the finish didn't quite go right, it crazed quite badly... but it made more sense to go with it than re-do and I am quite happy thats the decision we made

I really love that. Personally, on a guitar like that, the checked finish works well. It feels like a blunt instrument for serious work rawk. Very very cool indeed.

Like that, looks genuinely old rather than a relic.

Nice relic job, even if it was unintentional!

What are those super-knurly knobs, Callahams like the bridge/saddles?

Oh my, that is nice. The botched finish goes well with the Tv Jones. Looks fitting.

i think i will stick with philly's "unintentional" rather than Kiichi's "botched".


the original plan was a thin skin hand buffed nitro finish, so we were never aiming for perfect mirror finish.  The checking gave us the option of redoing it (taking many months given the season), leaving as is - new but checked.   or doing a bit of relicing to tie it all together


everything past this point (the new but checked stage) was completely intentional:

Yes, "botched" is the wrong word, I apologize, it was too late. I would call it one of those perfect imperfections.
