    I am pretty sure I want you to build a Cameo for me Mark! #555 has set the bar very high for me!

    Vinny,

    Reading your posts on this site helped me to look into Mark's work and he built me a Deluxe that is a marvel of beauty and function. It is an ARCHTOP, but the sustain is remarkable. The playability, intonation and tone makes every day a pleasant musical journey. I cannot say enough good things about Mark Campellone!

    15th fret neck/body joint and 22 frets on that 15" model look pretty sweet.

    It’s nice to see my bro getting acknowledged for his role and helping others share in the enjoyment that he didn’t exactly keep secret!
    Nice Job Whole tone. Enjoy that beauty forever.

    Interesting how much influence the Gibson L-5 has had over the years on the music that so many of us revere and enjoy!

    Almost as interesting is how the general shape and features of the L-5 have influenced the current non-Gibson guitars being made. Just me, but in the archtop world, the L-5 is the most influential design that we are witnessing.

    Full disclosure….I own an older L-5C.

    Mark’s amber burst is very similar to Gibson’s viceroy brown on the Tal Farlow IMO

What I should have said was I asked for Amberburst on my guitar because I absolutely loved the orange on Mark's 20th Anniversary model, this is where it is today, and I am thrilled with it. Beyond thrilled, actually.

    No worries. I just thought it looked a bit more red around the edges. I realize there are some variations, and the pix/monitor screen have their own colour balance issues. The middle of the three examples I posted above looks a lot like yours, so, there you go. And I, too, would be thrilled.

    That middle one is the 20th Anniversary, and was the target

    Right, the goal was to match the finish on the 20th Anniversary guitar and yes, it is slightly deeper in color than other amberbursts I've done. The color mix for the amberburst edge shading is always the same (3 brown to 1 red), but the final result can vary depending on how much of the tint is actually applied.

    Doing a burst is pretty tricky and I admit to getting a little nervous each time I approach the job. If your movement slows even a little bit when applying the color, you end up with a darker spot - then you have to try to darken the rest to even things out. I've watched the painters doing bursts on the Gibson factory tour videos, and I'm just amazed at how quickly they work and how easy they make it look!

    Of course, they do only that everyday and all day. And they don't have to be aware of the amount of work you've put into it by the time you get to finishing!

    I'd like to thank you for participating here. I'm a woodworking guitar player and I really enjoy your input, photos of your shop, your jigs, and of course the pics of your instruments. How I'd love to own one some day.

    (I find jigs to be a window into the mind of the builder. be careful what you post :-)
