Finish Type?

Finish lead times are 8 -12 weeks.**(See our ‘Lead Times’ page) TruGrain™ is a new finish technique we are offering. The body is not grain filled, so it allows us to spray the finish thinner. This process removes a few ounces of weight, gives the body more resonance, shows off the beautiful wood grain patterns under the finish and looks super cool!

Finish Color?

Degree of Relic?

For finished bodies only! Please view our galleries – the link is at the top of the page – for examples of each level of relic.

Body Binding

We offer Top binding or Top and Back (Double Bound). Binding costs more on a body getting a finish, Due to the extra labor and materials involved in taping and scraping. Please keep in mind that if you choose body binding on a body style that normally has contours (forearm/tummy cut), these contours will be omitted.
