Here is a great article written by my friend Jim Pasch of The Parts Drawer about using a blacklight to help identify vintage guitars.
Jim talks about what correct, original parts should look like when viewed under a black light. This helps determine the authenticity of an original vintage guitar.
A black light can also help determine if a vintage guitar was refinished or not. check it out and pick up some more knowledge about the vintage guitar game.

Testimonials:
David Nicholas - The 20watt amp is sounding fantastic! Delivered the goods at the gig and I'm finding cool tones all over the place with it. Love the cab w Emenince Tonkerlites too- perfect for my sounds! Makes the 12 string sound like a grand piano!
Peter Lacis - I had an audition for something recently that was all about Led Zeppelin I -- my custom Pennalizer BLEW THE MINDS of the guys I was playing with. They couldn't believe the sounds coming out of that amp. That album was never in my mind when I came up with the idea....so that's yet another testament to the amazing work that you do.
Scott Goldberg - I am very satisfied with the set-up, and the fast turn around. With the "lower" action it feels easier to play. I will definitely spread the word.
