Nigel Paterson | instruments: does appearance matter? (66* d) | RE: instruments: does appearance matter? | 10 Feb 19 |
I took a guitar to have some work done...new machines, re-fretting. I asked the luthier if he would also strip & revarnish a rather 'tired' looking instrument. He refused, point blank, saying that the visible wear was like a patina, evidence of a loved, long-played instrument. He agreed to a gentle clean, but nothing more. |
