A Fight To The Finish

[admin]

A good point, Alan. An instrument is, what it is and the aging process is not all bad. It is often times difficult to tell the difference, from a distance, between a vintage aged-white and a more recent cream. Of course, knowing the year of the instrument can help in this regard.

If I bought one new, I would probably not want it to yellow, but the aged "vintage white"/"snotglo" doesn't look bad either. It probably looks better with a white TRC/pickguard than it might with a black pickguard and hardware IMHO.

Paul: Good point on the yellowed instrument with black trim and hardware.

"Paul: Good point on the yellowed instrument with black trim and hardware." i personally love faded/yellowing white finishes on vintage guitars. (see my avatar) i have a jazz bass that i am thinking of refinishing,and would love to get a similar color to my 4000.

Yes, of course the only SnotGlo worth having is a white on snot one. "Vintage Cream"? Bah! That's a mere "Banana Pudding Glo"!
