moonlander Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi, does anyone know why the new j-50 and j-45 (satin finish) are so bright blond looking when the old vintage ones have this darker yelowish spruce color? do you think that when people bought them back in the 60's 70's they were so bright too or that they came like this out of the factory?

Yes that could very well be the case ! . Yellow tends to be bright in at the start but as time goes by it becomes more cream/banana like . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came out nice and bright and when the nitrocellulose lacquer is exposed to sunlight and in some cases cigarette smoke they take on a wonderful golden glow. That's part of the beauty of owning an older guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
