Swirls & Bowling Ball Finishes

First the body is sealed so that water will not seep into the screw holes etc. Then the guitar is submerged in water, the urethane paint is floated on the top of the water. Then the guitar body is pulled through ever so gently.

Marbleizing By Hand

This finish is achieved with tissue paper, cotton balls, a razor blade and gold leaf. Very time consuming and painstaking work.

Marbleizing Electro Statically

This extremely dramatic finish process is done using a million dollar machine.  Sorry it is no longer available. The owners of the machinery are no longer interested in such small potato jobs as electric guitars.  I have about 15 of these left the prices range from $150.00 to $400.00 for a body. This finish is so unbelievably realistic that when someone picks up the guitar they fully expect it to be made from Solid Italian Marble. All the bodies I have left are 25" scale so don't try to use a Warmoth neck. You will need a 25" scale neck (Paul Reed Smith scale).
