Gold top lacquer is go

Posted: 26 November 2012 by Steve

I thought I’d share some photos of a Goldtop finish that a customer has sprayed with my Gold top lacquer.

Here is what he said:

“I must say that Goldtop Lacquer was incredible, quite possibly even better and more in keeping with the original 50’s Goldtop than gibson now spay their guitars with, it came out a treat, I’ve enclosed a couple of pics of the guitar for you to have a look at, the customer wanted to keep the back neck and sides black and just have the top done in Gold, I sandwiched the whole can between a light clear coat until the whole can was used.”

And here are his pictures:
