Headstock Purfling

This was fun, nice and detailed.
Black-White-Black Purfling, with Rosewood overlay and binding.

I'll also inlay "Sorbera" into the headstock. This will be the first guitar with our name actually on the headstock. If it turns out well, the rest of them will have it on there.

Our Finish

Some info about the finish we use on our guitars:

We use a new generation of post-catalyzed conversion varnish finishing system that offers the ultimate in durability. The high solids, water white, non-yellowing formula were specifically designed for wood surfaces that are exposed to extreme moisture, heat or chemicals.

Unique Advantages:
  • Thin, hard finish provides maximum protection without dampening your guitar’s tone.
  • Extremely clear, looks as if it is part of the wood instead of the polyester finish that most manufacturers use which looks like a clear sheet of plastic laid over the wood.
  • Excellent mar and scratch resistance.
  • Exceptional durability and resistance to alcohol, water and sweat that may come into contact with your instrument.
  • Available in gloss, semi-gloss and satin lusters.
