Failure?!

That thing looks a lot better than the bursted 88's

Ditto! I prefer this look much better. I didn't realize they were made of a single piece of mahogany. Very nice!! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Dave my friend, that looks fantastic. Great work as always.

I really like the rubbed oil finish.
These guitars probably would have been better off with that finish from the factory, given that the clear finish on them chips if you look at it the wrong way [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It really looks great as it is....but I am so used to seeing the sunburst finish on them.
I wonder if there would be a way to give it a burst with water based color tone stain & then oil........Hmmmmm that would be the ultimate 88 in my opinion.

<font color="aqua">Well thank you very much everyone. I thought for sure I'd get a couple of "die hards" ripping at the finish [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Jimmy B: you have a PM [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

quiksilver: thank you sir for putting this up- [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Brian: I hear ya, the original finishes are like glass, except glass shatters less easily... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
