Had my ugly and beat blueburst '88 Stingray refined in BM last year. Added a mint/b/w guard and it's a beaut!

Indeed! Wearing labella flats and absolutely sings.Tone tone tone!
Thunderbirds have such a great shape for good colors that I can't understand why Gibson doesn't offer them in good colors. But, it's Gibson. There's no telling.I have been interested in the Epiphone Embassy Pro and have seriously thought about doing a nitro refin in something awesome and metallic. That is a work of art!!!!!

I have a red bass that I am totally, completely smitten with, but I keep thinking of a refin, and BMM keeps heading the list of options...

To update my post here from over a year ago - MJT BMM with mild distressing and checking. Very pleased with their work & communications. Just what I wanted.

MJT did a nice job on this. Love a crackle details in the finish. Is the upper horn a little more pronounced or is it just the angle of the photo?
