Quicksilvers Rule
Quicksilver guitars are built to the highest
standards available on any mid ranged priced guitar.
The Quicksilver guitar is one of the most
versatile easy playing guitars available today.
No expense is spared to make these guitars the
absolute finest on the market today.
Almost any option that you can think of,
including custom body shapes, neck sizes, electronics, hardware and
a host of little innovations that will make you the happiest you
have ever been with a guitar.
As of this writing we are only aware of less
than 1% of our players who have sold or traded off their
Quicksilver. With 6 years and almost 1000 units on the market that's
a lofty statement.
This Quicksilver built for a good personal
friend of mine Mike Clifford of Las Vegas....

Another Reason Why Quicksilver
Rules!!!!
The finish on a neck makes a big
difference in the feel of the neck. Most people prefer the smooth,
natural feel of an oil-finished neck. It has also been my experience
that an oil-finished neck is more humidity stable than a painted
neck (providing the fingerboard is not painted as well). Even though
oil provides less moisture vapor protection than a painted finish,
an oil-finished neck is considered a balanced finish. In other words
the fingerboard side of the neck has the same finish and therefore
the same moisture protection as the back of the neck. So the whole
neck gains and loses moisture at an equal rate. This is true of a
neck that is painted both front and back as well such as most maple
necks.
Necks that are painted on the back
of the neck but whose fingerboards are oiled would be considered to
have an unbalanced finish where the moisture gain and loss will be
slightly more inhibited through the paint. Not much mind you, but
enough to make the neck less stable through humidity changes.
