I have put about 12 coats of Tru-oil on the whole guitar as I like the natural timber look.

Not that crazy about Tru-oil, I wouldn't use it again. It dries too quick for my liking. I'm a pretty experienced wood worker and there is a lot of better products around. I'm in the process of wet sanding the guitar back to a smoother finish and will then try a final couple of coats on a cool morning,hoping for a better finish.

I like tru-oil. I think I've had quite a bit of success with. I find it quite relaxing. But each to their own.
I have a build at the moment and I'm using FW wipe on poly as a change. Too early to form an opinion yet.
