I was tasked with replacing gnarly old saddles on this 20 year old Strat for Uncle Jeffy D and the only option was using for their shear brilliance in design. I cannot recommend these enough!

A whole lotta purple happening in the booth today—each one metallic, each one a different shade of awesome!

From left to right: Deep Lilac Pearl, Plum Crazy, Royal Crown Purple, and a custom mix we call "Pensa Purple".

And yes… that first one is a Starr Guitars Hustler model, currently in the works. 👀

⚡Black Diamond Firemist⚡Grande Satin finish on an Ash body.

Here’s a look at our Grande Satin finish on an Ash body—with no pore filler underneath. Thin, satin, and raw in all the right ways, letting the natural texture of the wood breathe through the finish.

It looks absolutely killer in this Black Diamond Firemist metallic finish. While a satin won’t give you those deep, glassy reflections of a high-gloss topcoat, the metallic still has plenty of shimmer under the satin.

Quick shot of a Pensa neck getting sanded before final top coats are applied.

With a Mahogany shaft, bound Ebony fretboard, Flame-Maple block inlays, and a Flame-Maple headstock veneer—this has some pretty cool specs!

Typically, we don't need to apply finish over an Ebony fretboard... but, because the Flame-Maple block inlays needed a bit of tinting, they asked us to finish the entire fretboard for a nice, uniform look.

Once this neck—and the matching body—are done, we'll post some photos!

⚡Charcoal Frost Metallic⚡Heritage Nitro finish on a KnE Guitars Ash Strat Style Body

This one features a custom dry-rub transfer on the arm contour—buried nicely beneath the lacquer.

Our client came to us with a simple vector graphic pulled from the web. We refined it, dialed in the scale, and sent it off to Camera Graphics (.john) for a truly exceptional decal print.

A big part of what we do happens behind the scenes—taking care of the tools that make it all possible. When everything’s dialed in, the work speaks for itself.

Here, our paint manager Justin Martin is giving one of our DeVilbiss Tekna PRO Lite spray guns the attention it deserves—keeping it tuned, precise, and ready to lay down a Starr quality finish.

What’s one tool you swear by—something you won’t let out of your hands?

⚡3-Tone "Chocolate" Sunburst⚡Heritage Nitro, VOS Patina finish on a Fender Custom Shop Alder Strat body.

This body came in stripped and ready to paint—our favorite way of getting bodies! Though, we don't shy away from stripping when we got bills to pay... 😉

Luckily, the Alder body was still in very good aesthetic condition for spraying a sunburst finish... and it came out great!
