Mex strat refin job

Just finished a refin/relic job on this, former, shiny white Mex Strat.The refin is done in ice blue nitrocellulose with a clearcoat of vintage amber nitrocellulose.Cured under blacklight to achieve the greenish look, that 40 years of playing, will do to that color. The crackling of the paint is done by rapid downcooling using compressed air.Back of neck is stripped of lacker, color stained and given a few layers of tru-oil.šŸ˜Š

Refin on a Refin

This is one of my own personal guitars. 1963 Fender Stratocaster bought as a refin. Now was the time for a new skin. Sherwood green is a even cooler color than I thought it would be. And I’m very happy with the result. šŸ˜€

Reunited at last

Iā€™m in the process of disassemble and preparing it for paint.
This time, itā€™s going to get a nitro lake placid blue.
I restored the frets to their original condition. Shining and levelšŸ˜ŠšŸŽø

That guitar had a past

The most recent guitar in the shop – King Bee’s Stratocaster, getting a refinishing with Nitro Vintage White, has not just been sitting on a shelf, before coming to MadebyBruun. It’s been out in the world earning its makeover. We see it here in a couple of YouTube videos.
Notice the little nick on the body. It’s visible also in the before-shot on the makeover post.

Here it is being played by Texan Blues guitarist Alan Haynes in 2013

In this next clip the guitar is being played by Omar Dykes when Omar and the Howlers visited Mik Schacks TV program Public Service.
