In 2024 I have expanded my custom colour for custom order guitar bodies only. Ask for the list to be sent to you for over 100 finishes.
I have been developing The Blue Flower finish over the past weeks with Doubleday Guitars (Texas) as part of a restoration. I will be releasing this finish along with the history and details of this finish will be out fairly soon along with a custom order option.
*Custom colour matches are running around a week to 2 weeks.
Start with "Shop All" to get all of your colours, finishing products and finishing services available.
We can match any colour you need. (Even to pictures provided) Prices can be found under Custom Orders. This is also available for custom bodies.
Please read everything thoroughly on our website and familiarize yourself with our services, timelines and process.
Pretty much everything you've heard on the internet about Nitrocellulose Lacquer is misinformation. Take caution on Youtube and avoid Forum Bullies preaching/pushing their views. No doubt some people are only trying to help but honestly there is more bad information than good. Only a handful of people actually make/mix these products daily. Other companies have their aerosol cans filled by a third party company and sell them retail to you. I'll be releasing a break down on th NC manufacturers and process shortly to put all the Myths to rest.
If you have any questions after that, please EMAIL us.
A full walk through of the finishing process for DIYers can be found under "The Finishing Process".
If you have any questions please EMAIL us.
Our Products
These are professional grade finishing products. Made available to even the DIY market through custom filling. After years of developing and creating North Americas best colours we've developed a system to offer them to everyone. We have our own aerosol filling machine for the DIY builders or standard tins for professional builders. We aren't your everyday retail store. Everything is mixed and made fresh when ordered.
All of our lacquers are now available in custom filled aerosols, 4oz, 8oz , *Quart and *Gallon variations. Our lacquer is the highest quality in North America and is supplied ready to spray. This ensures you have the best nitrocellulose possible and the right amount for any project you may have. Whether you are a first time finisher or a professional builder we have exactly what you need to get the job done right with the right colours. We've done everything from guitars, motorcyles, cars to custom paintings.
We are the only shop in North America to mix and fill orders fresh when ordered. You can be assured you're getting fresh products that haven't been sitting on a shelf for over a year. Every order with us truly is a custom order filled just for you.
A lot of years and attention to detail have gone into our colours and finishing products. There isn't a shop around that provides what we can provide for your build as far as finishing goes.
Please feel free to browse our large selections of finishing products, colours and custom guitar parts to set your build apart from others.
Custom Shop
Our Custom Shop Builds rival the best in North America. These are all made to vintage specs. They fit and can be paired with any Fender/Replica parts or hardware such as Kluson, Wilkinson, Allparts etc. Finished in your choice of colours.
Custom Aged Paisley and custom aged colours is what I'm best know for. Feel free to email questions.
We have updated our custom order process to make it a very simple process. Select your body and finish. Orders take 20+ weeks for bodies and necks 36+ weeks for builds.
With the best selection of Custom colours and Vintage colours available to you your options are endless.
