Hi. First post... I have a small, but growing custom guitar building company in Wilmington, NC. As business has grown, it is becoming obvious that I need to be on the road concentrating on selling. Therefore, I need someone local who would interested in some finishing work... and maybe some fabrication and assembly if that person wanted it. But the painting, etc. is a priority, right now.
The guitar bodies would come in as carved, bare wood, made of materials like Alder, Ash, Mahogany, and Maple. The most common finishing needs would be grain filling, sanding, prepping, painting, and clear coating. The paints, and clears are almost always nitrocellulose lacquers, but more and more are being requested dyed and clear coated with a stained back.
As we all know how big NC is, someone East of Raleigh would be preferred, and it would be a must that the right person be fully set-up and ready to go for this type of work.
Right now, there can be a month without an order, but the next month we will have 12 to 20 pieces to finish. I hope to create a more steady workflow by freeing myself up for selling when I know that the finish work is being taken care of.
If you have any questions, or comments, be sure to write me at tcarey66@yahoo.com. Thanks very much for your time.
Best Regards,
