After being a test-bed for many years, my 1959 Burns Artist (see avatar on right) is to be restored to as close as possible to the guitar that I bought in 1963.
Last week it was taken to be re-sprayed to the original cherry colour for body and headstock. Back in 1963 the original polyester, although only three years old, had tiny cracks in the surface so that it looked like crazy paving, which rather spoiled the look. This time round it should be 'good as new'.
I'll keep you posted.
