The idea of a sonic blue guitar that has sat around cigarette smoke for decades has always been intriguing to me. The guitars in this finish that we've come across that are 50+ years old always look so incredible; but what if those guitars just got clouded with smoke 24/7 (without the god-awful smell)? The greening/yellowing would give the already beautiful finish something extra. Well whenever we have ideas like this, we reach out to our friends at Frank Brothers. They are absolute masters at not only building the best guitars in the word today, but getting the finish that's in your head perfect!
This Arcade is beyond special.
