      Mary Bell is also very good with metallic finishes.

        Marty's good, but you need to make sure that you spec the body is prepped properly. I sent him a strat body which had a scrap' on the top horn, and at certain angles you could still see the 'shadow' of it when he was done.

            I had Dan refinish my Model 5 and it came out great so I would recommend his work. Have been thinking of sending my other Model 5 that needs some work and a refinish to Mike Learn since I have heard nothing but good things about his work.

              I've had good luck with both Marty and Mike.

                      This one had a cracked neck for repair. The design is one that I did for NAMM a few years ago, but was never put on the guitar. It was one of the worst Jacksons I have had in here. It had 2 factory finishes on it. Paint was so thick, it needed to be re routed in a couple of spots.

                      Ready to pimp now.
