Old Steel (and Brass)
Old Steel (and Brass)
Applying the patina to our resonator guitars is a creative process and one that is something we're constantly tweaking, improving, and trying to make more beautiful.
We could chrome plate them, but you wind up with a Christmas ornament.
We could powder coat them, but you end up with a factory shelving unit.
We want something that looks aged, played, loved. Something that is intriguing but not overpowering. Something that adds rather than subtracts, and allows someone to see that this is a "handmade something" that isn't contrived, artificial, or painful to look at.
