Yeah, I've played one, they don't PLAY very nicely, and I wasn't a fan of their self wound pickups either. I think if anything they're more of a SHOW piece, and not a players instrument you rock out with.
On the other hand, I was just reading some of the finishing section and have a couple questions.
1) people are talkin' about sealer and nitro, and poly, and a million different things... I just bought a bottle of ColorTone Waterbase Lacquer from stewmac. Can't I just spray on a couple of coats of that?!
2) i was thinking of dying my guitar, but then was wondering if it would look good... what do ya'll think I should do. any color suggestions you pro's think would work for my woods?
3) if i do stain it, can i just use that stewmac stain, and then just cover it with that ColorTone Waterbase Lacquer?
Thanks,
Chris
