He is everywhere! I had Joe finish two of my guitars. Here are some pictures he took. That's not the whole truth. I had Joe refinish 2 guitars for me. I just was not happy with my efforts. Joe stripped and refinished these guitars for me.      I'll post pics of the other one soon. |

Wow!! Joe's work certainly speaks for itself. Steve it sure helps that you provided an outstanding canvass for Joe to do his work. |

Holy Moly, those are beautiful! I think you're right, Ken, Joe has definitely found his calling. We should all be glad he heard the call, and answered. His work is phenomenal. |

did you have him do the refinish with the bridge on? Just curious. Good work by the way to the builder and finisher. SR |

Do you have any idea how thick the finish is on the top Steve? Looks nice! Terry |

Terry my friend on the guitar that Joe White did for me the finish was around .004" thick under the fret board extension and thinner under the bridge. |

These guitars made it to my house today. The finish is fabulous. Terence Kennedy wrote: Do you have any idea how thick the finish is on the top Steve? Looks nice! Terry He told me he keeps it at about .004. |

WOW!!!  That is a nice finish. I've been seeing more and more of his work around the forum and it all looks amazing. Whatever he charges is worth it. Does he have a site or anything? I'd like to see more of his work too.

I was able to put these guitars together and add strings. Joe's finish is wonderful. These guitars look so much better with his finish than what I could do. |

More importantly, How Do They Sound?

Joe - Funny you should ask. I had applied water based finish on these that Joe sanded off for me. I believe that they sound a bit brighter with your finish. Not a bunch, but brighter. I wonder if the harder and thinner finish could have made a difference. It is not a bad thing at all and very subtle. |

I think it's highly possible that one finish could have a damping affect. The waterbase might just have done that a bit. In some cases that might be desirable too? |
