We have been experimenting. Nitrocellulose lacquer has excellent acoustic properties while providing a deep gloss finish to a guitar. But you can’t get much closer to having nothing on a guitar than oil. This hand carved flame maple top Californian, is hand rubbed and oil finished in antique blonde. It looks and sounds amazing. In fact, it sounds so good we may not put a pickup on it. By placing an ambient mic at the tailpiece and 12th fret, really captures the acoustic ‘woodiness’ of this stunning archtop. More pics and audio files coming soon.
