de1sgman Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I have an old 60's gibson sg that i purchased with no paint on it, and am restoring it to it's original cherry finish. I have been unable to find a place to purchase a match to the orignial cherry red finish. I tried guitar reranch, but the paint is unavailable through their online purchase and their phone is always busy. Does anyone know of anywhere to get a matching cherry red stain or lacquer?

Drak Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I know one thing: that cherry red color Gibson used was in the filler, not a topcoat or shader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be able to tell you how it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
