Description

Vintage Gets a New Varnish:
With a look, style, and sound all of their own, the Antique Varnish guitars and mandolins use the same world class, hand applied varnish as their violins.

Newly Suited, Sweeter Sound:
A six step process starting with a basecoat application to fill the grain, moving to color application, concluding with a french polish, resulting in a finish that’s softer than lacquer, with a smoother tone.

The Varnish Sings:
A thinner layer of varnish allows for a more resonant, and wide-open sound, giving these instruments a voice all their own.

Behind the Varnish:
At the source of every great feature are highly skilled craftspeople who sculpt, refine and perfect a vision. The Antique Varnish process is no exception. The same team behind Eastman's respected Violin Varnish Shop painstakingly hand apply and age the full series of Antique Varnish Archtops, Thinlines, Acoustics and Mandolins. The resulting sound is pure and like no other.
