gillespiej03 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 It turned out nice, yeah. On those 2 spots you can stick something after all finish is done... What do you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBaby Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) I quite like those spots ... they add a bit of irregularity and imo enhance the natural look. I didn't even see them initially, they just looked like they were meant to be there. Edited June 9, 2009 by JellyBaby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModulusMK Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 It turned out nice, yeah. On those 2 spots you can stick something after all finish is done... What do you mean? Some sticker over them or something... or maybe you can darken them more and add more stain to turn them into some 'shape'... not to look as some greasy spots.

gillespiej03 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 What would you guys recommend to finish it with. I was gonna use nitro, but I don't have anywhere to spray. I was thinking maybe tung oil or tru-oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Tru-oil is good. I do like it, although I would research other people's usage and results on here and a couple of other boards too so you get the best out of it. Great stuff.

ModulusMK Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Try not to use some 'plastic' finish. Like polyester is, used on maaany many guitars, especially cheaper ones. They mud the sound of the wood and total tonality is lost. The guitar starts to sound like plastic. Probably yours was before sanding it down. For mine bass project I used acrylic and it's very good. Very satisfied, does not mud the wood at all, does not crack, looks good... On some squiers I had to remove the polyester paint, recolor them from red to black and finished with acrylic. The guitar saw a new world in sound... Polyurethane is good choice too, but if you have special requirements like UV protection and stuff.
