Rexel Matador Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Who should I send a newly made body to for an old-school nitro finish job - solid shell pink or something like that? And roughly how much could I expect to pay? I'd love to do it myself but the fumes/mess/sheer level of skill involved has got me thinking I should outsource! Any advice much appreciated!

Soledad Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Dave Wilson in Hexham is highly recommended, by me and quite a few others here. He did my P from original poly 3TSB to LPB nitro about 2 years ago - cost then around £320, maybe a bit more now. Find him on FB or someone here will have a number Here's the thread that got me sorted, I think some LPB Precision shots in there too - really perfect finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David did my JV Precision recently; he stripped a bad nitro refinish and sorted a dodgy fill of a J pickup rout that had been there previously, and the price was the same as you. He was exemplary in his communication, keeping me updated and sending me progress shots every step of the way, and the finish is immaculate. He's a top bloke.

Jono Bolton Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'd also recommend Rexter Guitars. I bought a P Bass body recently from the guy who runs it and he's finished it in a relic Burgundy Mist, and it's a fine job. https://rexterguitars.co.uk/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 https://m.facebook.com/Retro169/ He has done 4 jobs for me. He does very fine work and his prices are keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
