Hey all

anyone know of a good luthier who could perhaps....as crazy as this may sound.....shave down the headstock to look more like the headstock style of the 60's ricks>?

Hey Paul, are you specializing in Mapleglo these days?

Peter, I can mix and match any color, and account for aging, yellowing, etc. Solid (non-transparent) colors like Jetglo, Turquoise, Midnight Blue, Azureglo, White, etc and Mapleglo are easier to match and blend than MB, Autumnglo, or Fireglo, but all are doable.

Ooohhh, Autumnglo. It sent my mind in a spin...a what if scenario. How about a complete re-fin, Paul?

Sure, Stan. Just get me a good color photo of the specific shade of Autumnglo, and we can take it from there...

I document refins and rubber stamp the control cavities, to avoid confusion with originals, BTW.
