Definitely a refin. Kind of a light natural color. Like so:

Stephen:

Thanks for chiming in. I'd forgotten about that decal. There is one on this D8, but it's smaller than the decals I'm seeing in non-refin examples. So yes, has to be a refin. Not a bad job ...

I've seen many stringmasters with yellow paint. Considering one now, a double neck from the 50s, which has what looks like lacquered or varnish finish, natural wood color.

Excellent amp. Thanks much Kevin!

What is the scale Jim? Thanks.

Thanks Sanjay. I have great appreciation for Ryan's work, but prefer longer scale. Good luck with your sale.

What is the scale Sanjay? Thanks.

These also have one of the smoothest, best-feeling trems. The JS390 is a great guitar.

Aluminum Clinesmith 8-string for sure. Also some thing old with a P-90. Maybe a Gibson Century?? And from the more modest side of the lap steel tracks, I'd love to find a really healthy supro studio o ...

That sounds fine! Great groove.

This forum is really something. That's wonderful music, and the tip of an amazing iceberg. This Oliver fellow has chops in many zipcodes!

I've not used it for lap ... had good luck with Emi Copperheads. Nice balance, nice drive. By comparison, the Ragin Cajin always struck me as too hard, too loud and too bassy.

That's beautiful stuff. Love "Apollo"!!

Bumping it. I'm trying to find a camera that works...

Chris:

Thanks! It does sound really good. Someone will be very happy to have it.
MD

It's a replica made by a guy named Sterling in MA. Made very well, fully the equal in parts, build quality and sound as examples from Victoria and Clark.

That's beautiful!

Very intriguing instrument, and pretty!

Very late to this party. Such cool sounds. Dove into other jazz clips of yours. Such as the outstanding "Poinciana". And "Straight No Chaser" (I think that's the one.)
