    Wow Sergio, that looks amazing. Well done.

    What did you use for the final coats to get that DEEP gloss?

    Sigh: and yet another kit to add to my ever growing list.

    cheers

    Sensational!

    Yeah! Reckon Andy would also like to know how you got such a deep gloss as would I!

    Adam, you were right!

    Montinijr,

    I've removed the duplicated photos. And, yes, I think we all want to know how you got that amazing high gloss.

    We are all enjoying the tonal benefits that a thin layer of Wudtone finish gives our guitars, but there's something to be said for a high gloss finish. It would be nice to give people the option of more tone or more gloss, then leave it up to them.
    Cheers,

    Adam

    Hey Sergio. Top notch burst, the best on this forum so far (sorry everyone else, but you know it's true).
