How is that colour made?
This is one of the first ever made Valvebucker Mk2 powered guitars. It is the piece featured in our press releases and a number of demos – see the newest of those demos below! Now as the demos, photo sessions and guitar show premiere for the Mk2 is done, the guitar is available to purchase.
Many have asked us how was the colour of this guitar made? The translucent green is an in-house stain mix we call Bad Absinthe (non-drinkable!) – but I feel it would arrogant to claim the colour you’re looking at is of our making. You see, the marble-like pattern entwining with the different shades of green is the magic of the forests in Finland. Arctic birch is a genuine wildwood – not cultivated in any way – and in some rare cases it grows in this mysterious way, generating a map-like topography that holographically changes shape depending on the direction of light. True artwork of nature!
This Unicorn Classic is a demo instrument, even if in superb condition. If you’re seriously interested (and didn’t get a heart attack when seeing the price tag below), please contact me for an offer. Or, if you have any questions about the guitar, I’m more than happy to answer!
