40-180 Cabinet and Buttons
#9

(11-22-2014, 01:00 AM)Arran Wrote:  No, the whole cabinet was toned, at least lightly, with something close to light walnut Mohawk to even it out and make it all look the same. The darker areas are made out of poplar or other some cheap wood, they are NOT painted that's a darker shade of tinted lacquer used to make the whitish blond wood look more high end, in this case Mohawk medium walnut is the closest . If you want a factory original look then tinted lacquer is something you have to use, along with grain filler, unless you like the antique mall or garage sale special strip N' clearcoat look.
 The other extreme is what one of the shill scam sellers on fleabay does, every radio he refinishes has the same fogged finish as a cheap guitar, regardless of make or model. If one of his his few real buyers (suckers) tries to resell sell such a set they will find out very quickly that their set was incorrectly restored and worth much less then what they paid, much like a 1963 Corvette painted neon orange.

Well then I guess I didn't do mine right.
