 |
|
I was browsing the dealers, seeing what they had in stock, as well as some of the older guitars, and i stumbled upon this beauty:
That is without a doubt my favorite finish i've ever seen on a guitar. I'm sobbing here now, knowing that drips are discontinued, and i can't order one with this finish. 
Ed, is there any way you know how many were made with this particular color combination? I'd like to figure my odds of ever scoring a used one.
Thanks,
mike

Don't expect to see any more of these 'drip'-like colors. The fellas over at Tyler didn't fancy this going on, and to take the high road, JS stopped doing them.
BEAUTIFUL guitar that is btw. |

I really didnt care about stopping it. As far as I was concerned it added weight to the guitar and kind of the opposite of what we were trying to do. I did them because people ordered them. There is no way anyone could do a drip type finish and not wind up with thicker paint. We did go thru great pains to try and pick the lighter bodies for these finishes. I will come up with some thinner and just as wacky very soon, I have an idea  |

Really?Tyler was the reason drip finishes were stopped?

So indeed,the guitars became heavier.We, guitar players can get so tangled into how a guitar looks that sometimes we forget that it's about how it plays than how it looks.Nevertheless,Suhr drip finishes look gorgeous!Looking forward to your next invention
