How does the buyer like it?

he seems to like the way its gone.  obviously when the finish crazed i offered him some options on how to proceed along with estimated prices and timescales.  time is an important factor on this, which is probably why it crazed in the first place.

i sent him some pics last week and he was happy with the level of wear but wanted it a bit shinier.  it was a good call as too often relicers go for the matte finish....  looking at my 30's reso and 50's archtop both have finishes just like this, still shiny in between the age. 

so we went this way, its looking bloody good and its come out cheaper than originally quoted.

Well its Tv jones all the way, even gretsch know that and use them on all the high end guitars.   This has a classic and classic plus, but they have more options these days.   The classic is the closest to the traditional filtertron, but the classic plus is much more versatile whilst still being gretschy.   

When Tv jones started they used the filtertron name, I had a filtertron + which is now called the classic plus.  oddly, now he works a lot closer with gretsch, they no longer use the filtertron name

There's a Powertron Plus in the TV Master if you fancy a compare and contrast ;)

Or just a regular PowerTron in a different TV Master...

It's a Cornell Romany Plus on the lowest (0.125W) power setting for the whole thing. There may well be a TS 808 in there as well.
