In-Distress Finishes

 

Aged finishes have been in demand for several years now but, as with everything here at Anderson Guitarworks, we wanted to wait until we could do them just right. That time has come and we are pleased to offer the worn-in look with zero compromises to flawless performance.

We call them "In-Distress" finishes

Available in three levels:

In-Distress Level 1: Aged and Checking Paint

In-Distress Level 2: Aged and Checking Paint with some Rub-Through

In-Distress Level 3: More Extreme Aging and Checking Paint and Rub-Through

In-Distress Necks: We offer one neck finish for all In-Distress guitars. Feels like raw wood—really thin, really nice—fast and raw. No dings or distressing, but the finish will wear fairly quickly. (Easy to touch up later if desired)

*The In-Distress Neck finish can also be ordered on any guitar, In-Distress or not, if desired.

**If you are one of those players who seeks the sleekest, fastest, new satin neck finish ever—like like our “shiny” guitars—you can merely request our Satin Natural finish for your In-Distress instrument, if you prefer.

In-Distress "nitro" finishes are available on select guitar models in a wide array of vintage colors and include aged hardware and appointments. Please see Build Your Guitar to explore the options in depth!
