Twiz Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 These are great! My friend has the Flying V version. I like the moon star inlay at the 12th fret. Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfox14 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The question is "how much more black could it be?" and the answer is...."none, none more black" Nigel Tuffnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I love the goth models: Black finish with the wood coming through, ebony fretboard with moon inlay, and the black & white photo of Orville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outforblood Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I just heard that you are not supposed to use polish on the satin finish...will it screw it up or just make it shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra26 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Shiny. The satin finish looks matte because it is not smooth and all those irregular sufaces scatter light. Think about how well you can see the sky in a stormy ocean versus a calm peaceful lake. Over time, things rubbing on the body will smooth out the finish over those areas, like where your hand rests, the back of the neck, around the knobs/switch, etc. Using polish will accelerate that, but it's going to happen anyway over time.

Hydra26 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks for the reply Hydra. Apparently my band members are idiots. haha didnt mean to imply that, lol. but thy said the other one, right? hahaha. to be fair, if you have one of those very thin satin finshes with lack of grain filler where you can feel the grain, applying a waxy polish is a bad idea because that junk will sit in all the grain pores and good luck getting it out. voila, you now have a whatever color guitar that looks like it has white grain. yep, i've done that once. who's the idiot now? ;) but regardless, youre gonna get shiny patches. how many, where, and how quickly depends how you play. if you have an ebony satin guitar without shiny patches, it hasn't been played much. a good polishing mght help mybe keep that jore even looking if it matters to you, by applying wer to the whole thing at the same time instead of just that spot where your arm rests.
