Sparkle Burgundy Gibson Finish
Hi,
I’m wondering how to achieve this color on a guitar. It’s Sparkle Burgundy. I suspect the clear varnish has yellowed with age, which is why it has a coppery effect depending on the light. Can you recommend a varnish to achieve this effect? Should I use a UV lamp after varnishing to age the varnish?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Could you send a hi res version of those pictures to ian.davlin@gmail.com ?

This is a guess, but I think that is a red translucent finish over bronze powder. Probably gold top powder. Some of the red has done been UVed out and the clear coats have turned yellow.
