norcalpiper Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi all, So Zzounds was having a sale on their last Honeyburst 2016 60s Tribute LP with P90s and I snatched it up, I had actually plaide this model a couple of times and liked it, so I was excited to get it. I didnt have a prep and polish for satin finish and saw a vid on Virtuoso polish. Both came today and I immediately stripped her down and did the prep application (which produced an incredible shine itself) and then the polish. I did the headstock also. All I can say is damn....that guitar looks so good now it's like night and day. It's not a high gloss shenn, but it's definitely glossed(grains are now popping out also). Soooooo - If you wanna kick your satin finish up a bit, go with virtuoso. I believe the prep has a minute abrasive.fyi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcalpiper Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 And it looks color splotchy, but it's actually the 3D effect of the grain and the stain. When I turn the guitar away from the light it lightens and evens...amazing actually..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Mmmmmm.....seems like what we established is that can save a couple thousand dollars, buy a Tribute and go over it with Virtuoso and you end up with a great looking guitar. Of course you're not 100% sure what it's going to look like until your done but probably worth it. Two very nice results here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It certainly made my $999 faded look not like a faded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
