I suppose if you're performing on stage it's rather like the clothes you're wearing and part of your image. At home, I'm sure it doesn't matter!

I see the guitar as a thing of beauty I am actually more fussy around the guitar than I am my hifi system

I'm looking forward to following the progress of the process, John. Are you going to line the cavities with copper foil, or stick to shielding paint?

Good work. How are you painting it? Lacquer?

Yes it will have a lacquer coat but they have to wait 3 weeks for the final coat in order for it to dry properly

Played a Levinson Blade many years ago. It had great time and was so quick to play due to the profile of the neck. I was impressed. Bit pricey if I remember and I already had 4 other guitars at the time. Great choice.

Yes a lovely neck and very versatile in tone which is another bonus for me.
What guitars do you have.

I can't really tell from the photo, but why can't you get rid of the resin?

The only reason I can think of for someone applying resin to a guitar like that is to bodge some kind of repair to a crack in the timber in that area.

Oh well

Post by John on Jun 14, 2018 4:22:39 GMT
I will ask the person doing the work about the resin

Here is Artur thoughts
"It wasn’t crack definitely. It could be a bodge or what I suspect is simply hardening the surface for bridge plate (the body is made out of Alder which is soft ish timber) to prevent plate biting in to the body".
