Roxy Guitar Finish

[McHack]

Roxy Guitar Finish was a business, who took adhoc guitar/bass paint jobs. From what I understand, the owner/operator decided to go back to Warmoth. Whatever works best for him....

My question is: Does anyone have a vendor, who'll do adhoc painting, to that level of quality? I'm seriously considering having one of my basses redone.

Have you checked out Michael Dolan or Pat Wilkins ?

 

[McHack]

Nope, I was unaware of them...

*off to see what google yeilds*

Dolan did the finish on my Warmoth PJ body (sorry, on the pic below, the bass is a little smudgey). He did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. He also went the extra mile matching the color from photos I sent him. Nice guy to deal with.

Roxy did another one of my bodies. Pretty job, but the finish chipped within like the first week. Had it redone, and it chipped again a couple of months later. I'd go to Dolan even if Roxy was around.

That is a great color combination; is it a stain or a shade or orangy-gold ?

Personally, I'd go to Pat Wilkins, unbeatable.

Thanks. It's actually a little less orangy and a little more brown in person; inspired by that early 70s Fender brownish semi-transparent finish they used to do.

I heard the same very thing from someone else as well.

+1 for Dolan, although he's the only refinisher I've tried.

Yeah Pat does some really beautiful work

how much is it to get a bass down in a burst finish?(2 colour)

+1,000.....IMHO the very best!

I decided this would simply cost too darn much!
