* a note about our paint finishes on USA Standard models – We like to keep the finish as thin as possible, yet just enough to protect the wood from moisture and light physical abuse. Due to this, there is often still some wood texture in the surface of the body, neck, and headstock. The satin finish leaves the wood free to resonate fully, and feels great to play on, both on the neck and body, giving you a nice dry surface to grip.

* we generally do not reject or waste wood for naturally occurring aesthetic issues such as streaking (in ebony), or knots (on mahogany), UNLESS it is a detriment to an instrument's structural integrity. If you need your ebony fingerboard to be jet black, you might get lucky, but we can't guarantee there won't be some kind of implication that your guitar's wood grew out of the earth with unique characteristics because existence is chaotic and unpredictable, but also beautiful when you consider how insignificant any little thing you care about is, so for once in your life just revel in the magical wonder of creating music with the best playing guitar you've ever held.
