What does

| Carbon Fiber wrapped;originally red; |
mean, exactly?
Is it carbon fiber mica laminated on top of red mica? Is it contact paper? Did you install it?
Thanks |

John,
Having seen an earlier reference to this carbon fiber wrap, I bought a 6" x 6' roll of self-adhesive film material at an autoparts shop for about $13. I don't know if it's actually carbon fiber, but it has this pattern in a black/charcoal gray.
I applied it to the flat surfaces of my guitar, which is constructed of a cast aluminum box frame, with paint where a wooden guitar would have mica. Dressed it up nicely, I think. |

| "faux" (fake) carbon fibre would be the accurate description. I assure you, at $13.00 for a 6'x6' roll, there's no actual carbon fibre there. Looks like a great installation job. |

It does look nice, but I question the durability of the wrapping material.
Is the original mica just a solid color bright red, or is it that red birdseye maple mica that Carter seemed to like? |

| This is a really nice idea, that put an ultra modern look, to a modern pedal steel guitar. I like it! Steel Players always have an unusual niche. |
