Calling Derek (Unfinished Necks)

Hi all,

My sources tell me we did switched over to oil and wax sometime in 1993. Which I implied a little earlier .

The "satin" finish was a conversion varnish which we called a"velvet finish".

Neck finish Timeline :Lacquered Neck 80's -"Velvet Finish" early 90's oil and wax -approx 93 till present.

At this time I'm checking to see when we switched from High gloss lacquer to "Velvet"

Derek
