So my custom Tele came in this week (thank you Warmoth for getting it done ahead of schedule). It's beautiful and I like it but the quilted top turned out entirely different from the way the raw Unique choice sample and predicted finish looked during the order process. At one point, I wasn't sure it was even the same piece of maple (it is, Spike confirmed it). The more I look at the preorder predicted finish versus what I have the more I wish it looked like the preorder. A good amount of the maple grain was lost in the jungle burst. The "reptilian" top I'd hoped for looks more like a Gibson quilt (which is very nice don't get me wrong).
Long winded, sorry.
Is there anyway the finish could be improved such that it looks more like the preorder than it does now short of sanding it all down and redoing it?
Will the grain in the top coat become more or less visible as the guitar ages?
Will the clear coat yellow with UV exposure? Could I increase the yellow and fade the green a little if the body saw a lot of sunlight?
Here is pictures of the body and the digital example from the original order.
