radansey Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I am thinking of buying another Tanglewood Curbow 5-er. There is one for sale for £80-ish BUT it has been resprayed over the original red finish. Does anyone know what happens if all the finish is removed back to expose the luthite? Does it look like wood or not? I would like to have one with a natural finish, but only ones I've seen in the past are similar to a walnut effect and these S/H as as rare as hen's teeth. Any advice would be gratefully received before I pursue any further. TIA Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Spotted that earlier and if the guy had been offering postage this thread would never have appeared cos it would be mine As far as I know luthite is just a type of plastic so providing it isn't too porous it shouldn't bee too difficult to get it back to its original finish. I'd like to think that the guy who painted it took the covers off and masked off the electronics cos it looks like it was painted with the covers on but then again I picked up an explorer where the guy had sprayed right over the pickups so anything's possible Edited April 30, 2011 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
