Looking good Ronn. May I ask which local guy you are using? I have not had any luck finding a good refinisher in town. Always send my stuff to Michael Dolan.
His name is Mark Hobbs. I posted on Craigslist Austin for someone to refinish a guitar and got a
lot of responses, I picked him because everyone else was telling me they could do it in a day or two but he told me every step he'd go thru, the materials he'd use(ReRanch), and that it'd take a few weeks to do it properly. When I went to his shop and saw an old Fender Mustang Bass he'd done in Fiesta Red I was sold.
He's a fan of my band and the price was right!
