A nitrocellulose finish in the vintage tradition
Nitrocellulose lacquer is particularly appreciated for its traditional appearance and thin application. Its gloss finish highlights the body's contours while retaining the look of guitars from the 1950s and 1960s. Over time, the lacquer may develop a natural patina and light playing wear, sought-after characteristics on vintage instruments.
Important assembly information
The body has two pilot holes for positioning the bridge. Final drilling must be carried out according to the selected vibrato model.
Before assembly, we recommend checking neck fit, scale length, string alignment and hardware dimensions.
