Thanks mate, first time for a satin finish for me, but not the last. I'm just about to start work on another Refurb and that will be a satin finish also.

@McCreed
Yeah I was in two minds myself about it, but was desperate to do something so thought I'd give it a go. To be honest the pine looked a bit plain and the stain has bought out the grain more than I thought it would.

Playing our guitars?? Now that's a novel idea!

Thanks guys. Means a lot to me.
