Build ProcessMy approach to building is extremely hands on. If I had a CNC i'd use it; however, since I don't, most of the process is done with a ruler, saw, spoke-shave, a router, and sand paper. A lot of sand paper.

FinishingGuitars are finished using unplasticised nitrocellulose lacquer and aniline dyes, which will fade over time, just like vintage finishes.

HardwareIn the past, I would spend countless hours researching and upgrading the parts of my off-the-shelf guitars. Whether it was to improve tone or play-ability, or in most cases, to improve the look of vintage accuracy.
Whatever it was, like many gear-heads, I wasn't satisfied until I had customised the guitar in some way. As a result, the parts I use on my builds are what i consider to be the very best hardware available. |
CasesI've always been as much of a fan of the vintage cases as I have been the guitars. The cases I use are custom made to my specifications and unique to Sorokin Guitars.
