In
Part One of refinishing this Music Man Luke guitar, we talked about the many stages and the weeks it took to get it to its final state.
Reggie the owner spent many hours with our patient Italian friend, luthier
Luca Quacquarella, discussing, poring over and, at times, agonizing about the many small details to get everything just right. It was, without doubt, a labour of love that transformed this guitar from a very sorry state to its current glory.
But enough jibber-jabber.
I am very pleased to present to you, dear reader, the refinished and resurrected Music Man Luke. Click on the pictures to enlarge, and enjoy!
