Treatment For Inside Of A Thinline/hollowbody

[LarsXI]

For those with semi-hollow guitars with soundholes, do you apply anything to the inside of the guitar for durability/weathering purposes? I'm guessing its fine to leave it unfinished. However, does it make sense to seal it to avoid humidity issues on the world tour?

You making a guitar to tour the world with?

I recall this topic coming up very recently.

Here you go-link to topic

Some builders finish the inside, some don't. Some have and stopped, because they feel it is not needed for instruments that are generally well maintained and taken care of. I think there is good logic behind slowing transitions, but it would need to be subjected to radical changes which most are not(at least it is avoided by most people). If it is a semi-hollow, the importance is probably much less(the dimensional changes will effect playability very little, at least as it applies to the inside of the box). All my opinion, so take it for what it is worth

Ah, thanks. That topic was relatively recent, I seem to have not searched rigorously enough.

Thats sound reasoning. I'll probably avoid finishing inside.
