"I'm interested in your comment regarding clear or amber tint finish rather than colour staining, you wouldn't know where I can see a finished body with a clear or slight amber finish would you"

Hi Keith O,
my LP-1SS (linked in my signature) has a spalted maple top and is coated in tru-oil. The body is mahogany (coated in DT nullabor Ochre - but it did not change the colour much! and then tru-oil).
