Loyal clients, this is a quick thank you for all the business you've provided over the years. I'll be scaling back this year to offer more full builds than just lacquers. I've created quite the NC industry in North America these past years and have been imitated more than I ever thought possible by competitors like Oxford and Solo. If you wonder where they copied their rare and aged colours from look no further. Thank you, it's the sincerest form of flattering. My hundreds of finishes are still available for bodies via build sheet as well as my 1968 paisleys and blue flower builds. Thanks so much.

Please spread the word to friends and get your lacquer colours before they're gone. Otherwise you'll have to order a body or guitar build.

All the best.

This post CBS take over finish was debuted in the summer of 1968. It was an attempt to create bright, colourful finishes that caught the eye of the generation. Like many Fender creations, it was a total failure ntil later years.

Originally called "Paisley Red" due to its more Reddish Pink, it was available for 279.50. They were only made for two years because of their lack of popularity and problems they had over the finishing process.

They used foil cling paper from the Borden Chemical Company, burst the edges with a Pinkish Red, and cleared the entire guitar.

There were apparently around 200ish of these made between 68-69. This leaves finding them intact difficult.

Fender's finishes today, although great, are more of a pinkish/purple compared to the originals.

We will use pictures of vintage paisley finishes sent to us to replicate original guitars. These are aged, our guitars will be aged as if they were made in 1968. They're meant to look old.
