    Yes, the colour is one reason I opted against the re-finishing idea. I could probably match it, but why bother?

    One thing I was reminded about when I drilled the recesses for the ferrules, is just how thick the factory polyester (polyurethane) finishes are! The combined sealer and finish layers on this is approximately 1.2mm thick!

    Edit: Fun fact - that's 5.5% of the body thickness!

    I could never match that just doing a single-pack lacquer.
