    You can see plenty of examples of big-name rock stars who play the most decrepit-looking instruments.
    i agree with you about glucose syrup but this particular built i wanted to have clean and neet finish. As basswod is easy to dent, i was aiming for minimum protective finish vs. not going too glossy without going opaq color.
    I am very close now to what i was going for initially.

    As far as i am concern, an iconic "beaten up" axe i would like to have a built for is definitively the Washburn N4 with this incredible cutaway, but in lefthand version please!
    (Santa? God? u'guys listening? just in case i'd been a good boy recently )

    I like your green Strat and the audacious headstock. For my AGD-612L, i'd rather remain with more standard headstock as double neck can quick look like i have taken a "bad decision"

    I don't mean there is anything particularly wrong with the thick high gloss finish you get on commercially-made guitars, it's more that if you want to go down that path, it's extremely difficult to pull off convincingly, unless you have the expertise and facilities to do it.
    And definitely, the ability to easily repair scratches is a big plus.
    That's actually one of the lesser-known advantages of French Polishing; although the finish is fairly easy to damage, it's also easy to repair.
