I like Monte Brown, a lot. Last year saw a few Monte Brown models, the Japanese 310 short-scales and Craig's one-off 1998 reissue.

Imagine if the 360/12C63 had been produced in Monte Brown?

MB has been sprayed in the factory recently and maybe if C63's were on the line at the time...experimental matrimony?

Just curious but is there a way you can gloss up an Autumnglo easily without a refinish or shooting it with a gloss overcoat? And would it then look like Walnut?

I had it done to an Alembic that was a matte finish...my luthier put it to a buffer, and it came out looking like brand new!
