    Going to leave it natural or stain or paint it?

    Cimar were a fairly short-lived branch of Ibanez (about '75-'82) and shared headstock design and a lot of the body shapes and hardware.

    Hi Simon,
    I will leave it natural. I will coat it with tru-oil.

    I sanded the body back today and filled the knot holes with CA glue.
    I still have to cover some unmatched dowel to blend it with the pine. I'm not sure if I should use putty or get a wood plug cutter!
