Does anyone who has ordered from him feel strongly about which is the better finish? Mark says that the natural finish ages to yellow pretty quickly anyway.
Also, some tinted finishes look too yellow to me, kind of unnatural. Or maybe it's possible to add just a bit of tint to get you started.
First world problem, I know!

Hi bluejaybill
Not a Campy owner sadly, but my natural L5 took about ten years to go honey. Once it did it really was awesome. Dont know about you but if it were today I probably dont have the ten to wait lol!

I just feel like natural is a bit too bright. I prefer the antique natural that Mark C applies. To my eyes it has a bit more depth and a bit more warmth.

I definitely admire the inlay and wood art on fancier archtops. But I remem er a conversation with Mark Campellone way back where he told me. His Std e try level guitars played and sounded the same as his fanciest models.
So while I can appreciate a Beautiful Blonde,LOL ! As a player I would consider the tone and playability first and foremost. And after playing a Campellone Deluxe owned by freind , they are GREAT!

Mark offers a pile of colours as part of his standard range. Here's another one - this is his "amberburst":

Hammer, the amber burst and Maccasar (or Rosewood) is a beautiful combo.
Thanks for posting those pictures.
