Aging the nitrocellulose on this 2026 Haney Goldtop. I mimic the aging process of a guitar that has been in and out of aircraft cargo holds, weather and played for 50 - 60 years by first letting the finish cure for at least 1 month, then I put it in a stand up deep freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 hrs to see what results I achieve. it usually takes 3 to 6 times depending on how hot it is outside. the greater the difference of temp. the better. I usually don't do a whole lot of damaging the finish beyond this - a few rub marks where the arm rests and natural marks from playing. I use acid fumes to age the nickel hardware. I also use a relic stain after the finish has gone through its process to make the cracking more pronounced.

My first violin restoration. When I got her, the neck with snapped off and the top had separated from the sides. She was all weathered, so I gave her a new nitro cellulose finish.
