Hey Gang! I shipped this guitar priority express to a guy in California, and darned if the finish didn't check on it in the airplane hold. Anybody in the San Francisco/Brentwood area interested in taking this on? I've repaired these types of checks by spraying blush eraser, then a coat of laquer 24 hours later. It's over the face of it. I use the Cumpiano M/T neck joint, so the tongue is glued down, He wants to get it repaired locally. Obviously an experienced professional is targeted here. Sherwin Williams Nitrocellulose was used. |

San Francisco/Brentwood, although I'm sure he would drive a couple hours. |

Addam Stark is a fine finisher who shares space with Rick Turner in Santa Cruz. He was the head of finishing for Santa Cruz Guitar Co. for a number of years, and although he's always busy, he'd be a good choice to refinish the top of your guitar. He'd also be able to handle neck and bridge removal/regluing. |

How about Gryphon stringed instruments? I'd feel safe having Frank Ford's team work on my guitars... EDIT: Frank and I were typing at the same time.... |

Alain - Thanks for the thought. We don't have a real spray booth here these days, so we do tend to refer folks to Addam. As to the repair itself, I certainly would not be able to take it on in the manner suggested. I'd expect to have to strip and refinish in order to get a predictable result. That, along with bridge and neck removal and regluing, would make for a fairly time-consuming job. |

Have you ever tried it in the manner described? I have. But I understand the thought behind stripping and refinishing. He'll probably give you a call, feel free to refer him to whoever you think can do a good job. |
