Bill's Midnight Blue SongTowers
« on: 16 Aug 2011, 08:29 pm »
Bill sent a picture of his favorite guitar.  It has a "midnight blue" finish over what appeared to be straight maple.  He wanted SongTowers to match. 

But, of course, our "standard" maple happens to be curly.  So if we were going for a close match, we would have to order ordinary straight maple (boring in comparison).

After a bit of discussion, Bill decided to stick with our curly maple.

Here are the results...



And a close-up...



Happy listening Bill!

i think that this is the way to do color rather than automotive paint, it lets the wood show through. i like'em.  :thumb:

Man, those are strikingly beautiful. Jim, you do some really interesting finishes. Of the stuff you've posted, the smoky grey and these are my favs. Nice work.

Saw those in the shop.  Certainly nicer in person.  They catch your eye for sure!

Truly unique and awesome - congrats, Bill, and welcome to the Salk family.  Happy listening.

P.S. I am going to put a pic of them in the Salk thread of AVS.
