How To Check your Les Paul's Finish like Tom Murphy

You may have wanted your Les Paul to look aged with checking at some point in your life but didn't know what to do. You wanted to get those lines in your Les Paul finish like this Les Paul

What you are going to need is skill and a razor blade, a very sharp, fine razor blade. To get this cosmetic effect on your guitar is to make fine lines and loops all through out the finish on the top. Do these lines lightly then go harder and deeper but do not cut in the wood. If you cut into the wood, you failed, and this is irreversible. So you need a steady hand, a fine razor blade, skill, patience, and time.

Good Luck, I hope you all succeed with this
