Yep, planning on putting a few coats on. I'll probably put a few coats on the whole neck, then finish with a poly brew.

Looking superb. Some people like the feel of tru oil, some do not. My first guitar had the engineered rosewood and I gave it a number of coats to seal and protect it. I hated the feel and rubbed it back with steel wool to give a much improved feel under the finger tips. You’ll do what you want of course but I thought I’d share my experience.

More stuff happening





Was originally hoping to leave the back natural, but paulownia grain is not that pretty, and I had to redrill the string-through holes, which is hard to cover up when staining. So here I am with septone satin black finish.

Very nice finish the black back fits perfectly with the beveled natural grain front

I dig the two-tone also. Looks great.

That feeling when you're casually browsing the Real Parts website, building an order, and you see:

We will be closed the 24th to 30th September, as we have updates happening on the webstore, plus warehouse stocktake. Due to the logistics and nature of these updates, we won't be taking any orders during this period.




(I placed an order quick smart)
