Tres Aardvarks Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Please, please, please promise this won't be your Japan flag Cali... Cynic, normally I tell you to ignore Nathan but in this case, I agree - that O'Conner finish is unique. Not too many of them, either I'm guessing, He's referring to a plan I have for a FM Cali I'm letting him hold onto (for now ). Alternating clear and trans red Rising Sun over flame maple. Don't worry, the finish on this one is staying as is ???? You could always pick up a beat Cali and have someone add a FM veneer to it? Rather than abuse an original FM Cali (I have a sweet spot for 'em).

Rather than abuse an original FM Cali (I have a sweet spot for 'em). Wouldn't that take away from the sonic properties of the FM? I'm no cork sniffer but my experience with FM's vs.Hog is that there is a discernible difference in the tones.
cynic Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 The one in question has irreversible mods already, so it's the perfect candidate. The veneer idea wouldn't work anyway as the idea includes the front/sides/back. Unfortunately, before I can have the finish "improved" I have to wait for Nathan to tire of it. Tick-tock Nathan!

I'm not sure I even can tire of this one. I know it didn't really grab you, but it hits the tonal sweet spot for my ear.
