I had to spend some time on my other projects to bring them up to a similar level of completeness.
I played this one a bit and fooled aroud with a scraped until I got a nice asymmetric neck profile that feels good in my hand. Now I need to take her apart from finishing, so I need to decide on this. I'm pretty much convinced that the neck will just have Danish Oil, but I'm thinking about the body.
I started oiling an offcut from the imbuia top and its looking really nice. The headstock is done with nitro so I can compare, and to me with such a dark color the glossy nitro finish looks like not the best idea, since its hard to see the features in the wood through all the reflections.
Then again I'm not sure I'd want the body to have JUST oil, I thought of maybe doing the back and sides with Rustins Plastic Coat that I have waiting to be tried out, and juts oil the front. Or is this king of mixing up different stuff in different parts just asking for trouble?
Any opinions?
Meanwhile here's a family photo of all my three projects, in testing with strings on:
Top to bottom these are:
1. the nylon one that this thread is about
2. sapelle body and macassar fretboard (and 2-piece maple neck)
3. my test vehicle for several things - poplar body with poplar burl veneer painted in blue translucent nitro, 3-ply plastic binding, the back painted solid black, 3-piece (flamed) maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard that was taken from my "CMS guitar".
