 by MASSA Guitars U.S.A Ltd. Edition Model: .999% Pure 24 Karat Deep Double Gold Leaf. I hand made this tele body, using 24k Gold leaf.
I use Giusto Manetti: 100% PURE Gold Leaf
MANETTI HAS MADE GOLD LEAF SINCE 1820
(THIS IS THE REAL high quality THING FROM ITALY - )

 I hand apply the 24K Karat Deep Double Gold Leaf, by hand    a much sought after, and highly regarded method,  as it takes much time and skill to implement.
the Leaf art is protected and sealed with light coats of poly, using my secret family application method, which gives the finish a very transparent look.
On all my guitars, I personally mix all colors by hand, and then I apply and blend by hand, using my fingers and palm to get the desired mix. I use absolutely no brushes at all ! Except to put on the top clear coats, I use very expensive, fine Animal brushes...

I use the Leonardo DaVinci Method of blending colors called Sfumato, The word sfumato comes from the Italian language and is derived from fumo ("smoke", "fume"). Sfumato translated into English means soft, vague, or blurred. In Italian, the word is used often as an adjective (such as biondo sfumato for pale blonde hair) or as a verb (l'affare è sfumato would mean "the deal has gone up in smoke"). The use of the term (unlike some others) dates back to the period when da Vinci introduced it. The technique is a fine shading meant to produce a soft transition between colours and tones, in order to achieve a more believable image. It is most often used by making subtle gradations that do not include lines or borders, from areas of light to areas of dark. The technique was used not only to give an elusive and illusionistic rendering of the human face, but also to create rich atmospheric effects Leonardo Da Vinci, described the technique as blending colours, without the use of lines or borders "in the manner of smoke".

Just add your favorite neck, strings & Pickups.
