Finished by the ReRanch
these Les Paul Jr.s were finished to replicate the TV finishes of the fifties
and sixties.
Although
the yellow lacquer finish is opaque the grain of the mahogany shows through.
Complete application instructions are given on the TV Yellow page but here
is the quick explanation; The body was stripped and the grain cleaned of
filler and sawdust. The body was sprayed with the TV Yellow lacquer. When
dry the grain was then filled with a mahogany grain filler.
After
cleaning the excess grain filler off with mineral spirits the body was
then sprayed again with TV Yellow to soften the grain color. When correct
the body was clear coated and polished.
