I hadn't heard of SamaN before. I found examples of folks staining with their products on the web, but not much about clear coating. I did see that Solo Guitars sells it as a guitar finish, and I saw people using it on floors and stairs. If it will stand up to shoes it should do well on a guitar ;-) Will be interested to know how you like it. Reading about it...it looks like it cures in a week. That would be faster than any other water based top coat I have seen! That would be nice! I have been using BriteTone which takes about 4 weeks to fully cure.
