Q. Are there any guitars that you don't finish?
A. Right now, we don't offer finishing services for set neck / neck through guitars.
We honestly just don't have the room in our shop at this time!
We do not offer finishing for the Vai "Perfomance Flame" shaped bodies.
This is due to significant structural issues with the design itself.
