Glendale bodies start out with hand selected
lightweight Sugar Pine. They are masterfully cut out by Brian Poe,
hand signed and dated. We finished them with an extremely thin coat
of nitrocellulose lacquer. The thin coat is important to
provide the
look, feel, and sound. A fifty-plus year old guitar will have faded
to a darker color while the areas beneath the hardware will remain
closer to the original color. We go the extra mile to give our
Butterscotch bodies that historical look. Under the pickguard,
bridge-plate, control-plate, neck-plate, and strap buttons the color
is the slightly faded original blonde. We then artistically age each
body with just the right amount of checking and wear to give the
feel of a fifty-plus year old guitar. The look is important, but
more importantly, it has the feel and sound of a body that has been
around and played since the 1950's. A lot of time, engineering and
effort have gone into each and every one. |
