[cover plate and tail piece]
The story in his own words:
This cover plate and tail piece are from the National Ressophonic factory in San Luis Obispo,CA. I purchased these two pieces as special "canvases" for my artwork with powder coated metals.
The pieces have been coated with a clear coating of powder coat. The accent color of deep blue has been added by me. The colors are part of the powder coat and will not come off.
The pictures show the deep blue accents that I have added to the powder coat, however the shine on the nickel plate was difficult to capture. Both pieces are highly polished.
These pieces are highly unique and not offered by National Resophonic.
PLEASE do not contact National. They know of my work, but do not market items like this.
I am offering these pieces at a set price of $150.00. If you want to trade your existing coverplate and tail piece, the price will be less. Your pieces need to be without any deep scratches. I will only trade for pieces that are nickel plated. Questions welcomed...."
