Total Vise Luthier’s products are making a huge contribution to the workday of guitarmakers and repair persons. My most recent acquisition is the Total Vise Finishing Station. It has made it so much easier for me to hold my acoustic and electric bodies and necks, as well as entire instruments during finishing, touch-ups, and curing. Jeff is really great at taking input from the community to develop and improve his products. Highly recommeded.
Beau Hannam –
I can honestly say that with this finishing station i’ve been spraying the easiest burst I’ve ever sprayed in 20 years. I can now keep the gun exactly where I want & a have a nice 5” fan & didn’t have to contort either the guitar, the gun, or my body in strange ways- I simply stood up straight & let the Finishing Station do all the work of manipulating the guitar exactly where I wanted it/where it needed to be.
🎸The alternative which I’ve been doing for 20 years is to either put the gun into a round spray configuration (ie not a fan) & spray from the inside out to get the color fade &/or use a fan & hold the guitar body & twist it left, right, & upside down- I always found that very fatiguing , even 20 years ago!
Being able to not only spray in the vertical position and spin it but also to be able to lay the guitar body flat and spin it (like a lazy Susan) means applying a totally flat final coat with retarder thinners to the top & back is super easy. Spray & let it dry for maximum flat surface which equates to less finial sanding- ie instead of started at P600, you can start at perhaps P1500!
The Luthiers Finishing Station was designed by luthiers (myself with major suggestions by the always amazing Doug proper of the Proper Work Station- which i also highly recommend) for luthiers & I think we hit a home run with this. (After about 10 versions hand made by Jeff Howard.
This product is Hand made in America by Jeff himself & for $450 I think it is an absolute bargain for all clear coats & color work.
PS- I get no $ from any sales/referrals. As I designed it I got this finished prototype free & that’s it. Jeff made my dream finishing station & now I just want you to know it exists cuz I think it will make you as happy spraying as it does me 😊
