Metal scratchplates will come with more options such as brushed and patina.
Construction
All guitars are available as bolt-on, set neck or through neck unless otherwise specified.
Standard bolt on uses T-nuts and high tensile bolts to ensure a tight and repeatably strong neck joint without repercussion on the integrity of the wood as found with traditional wood screws over time.
Finishing
I offer the following finishes to any guitar but will happily recommend what I believe is best for your build.
Oil finish: Brings the wood to life and allows the natural beauty of the wood to come through as well as letting the wood resonate naturally. However this provides little protection to the instrument in the event of knocks and scratches.
Nitrocellulose: Previously used by Fender and other guitar manufacturers it provides a thin film of lacquer over the wood, making it feel more natural. Solid colours as well as stains and burst are available with this finish as well as gloss, satin or matt finishes.
Polyurethane finish: This is a lacquer that many guitar manufacturers use today and provides the guitar with the most protection from knocks and scratches. Available in solid colours, bursts as well as clear coating in satin or gloss.
