It’s a beauty, John! The top is great. How did you apply the post cat royal lac? Is that your first instrument with it? Happy New Year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looks and sounds great John. The wood choices are beautiful together. I'm curious about Royal Lac too. Been interested in it for a while now but have yet to try it. |

Beautiful John. And the Angel seems to love it also. I am also interested in the finish process you used. Pore filler? Spray? Impressions? |

I used zpoxy pore fill sealed with seal-lac. I am spraying the post catalyzed Royal-Lac I love its look and it does buff out well. The down sides I have found for an inexperienced finisher is that once cured I could not successfully touch up issues without witness lines. I hand a sand through on the back late in the process. I touched it up with a air brush, a nice clean over spray touch up. After that cured once level and buffed I could always see the touch up. Ultimately I sanding down the whole back sealed with seal-lac and resprayed. That worked well. |

Your playing sounds fine to me. And the guitar has good tone for picking. otherDoc |
