warwickhunt Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I know the pics aren't the greatest but I get the impression this is not a factory finish!

Happy Jack Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The gap between the upper horn and the neck cries out for a piece of trellis, perhaps with some honeysuckle or maybe a nice clematis ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I cannot decide if that's good or bad. I'd probably need to see it in the flesh as camera flashes do horrible things at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 It must be very wet in Canada - you can see the damp course going staight through the body and neck at the back - what a give-away! Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Part of me thinks that can't be a factory finish, but then I remember the horrid-green double-neck thumb that was posted here a while back so it may be original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 As said, you'd need to see it in the flesh but part of me is thinking why stain a dark wood body (as the SS II's are invariably that). I could understand a dark stain on a maple/ash body but staining a wood that is already dark hardwood... that's wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veils Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 In fairness the SII is vastly inferior in appearance to the SI and that does it no favours at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost looks like it might be at home in my compost bin. Such a shame to do something like that to an SSII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In mine, the SSII is a beautiful instrument! Such a shame that it had to be butchered in the way that it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BargyBass Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Really, he should have applied another coat in the autumn.. The frost has got at it terrible and I'm sure the sun will do further damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
