My God the quality of the refinish is astonishing, there is no doubt in my mind. I talked to Valentino about the refinishing of my guitar and promised him when we come to California to race we will stop by to let him sit in my formula atlantic car, now after hearing of Rob's situation with transport, I will be driving down with my Hyak next year instead of shipping, I consider it time and money well spent. I bought a Les Paul in Phoenix last year and had it shipped up to Seattle and waited very nervously for the arrival and even took the day off of work thye day it was delivered just to look the UPS driver in the eye when it was delivered( I did not let him leave until I unpacked it) undamaged the guitar that is but the case was destroyed by my standards. I purchased a new anvil case for it and now after reading this I will ship the anvil case for my Hyak out for refoaming as the foam in the case is 26+ years old, I learn things every time I log onto this site thanks everyone. Look forward to meeting Valentino and the rest of the staff in March when we head down to Arizona and Valentino we will not have my race car with us at that time but when the guitar is done I promise you we will bring it even if it is just to run tests at Laguna Seca or Sears Point and no I can not bring my self to call the track by its new name.
