warwickhunt Posted June 14, 2007 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 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
Buzz Posted June 14, 2007 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

Hamster Posted June 14, 2007 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
Alpha-Dave Posted June 14, 2007 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
warwickhunt Posted June 14, 2007 Author 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
Veils Posted June 14, 2007 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

Almost looks like it might be at home in my compost bin. Such a shame to do something like that to an SSII. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 It looks more like a steamer than a streamer Quote

In mine, the SSII is a beautiful instrument! Such a shame that it had to be butchered in the way that it was. Quote
MB1 Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 MB1. "whos crapped in the warwick wax?"? creosote? gravy browning? boot polish? linseed oil? cuprinol one coat fence spray? motor oil? wont be trying any of these methods on my LE 2003 blonde maple thumb. MB1. Quote
BargyBass Posted June 16, 2007 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
