There are a lot of discussions here about finishes/ finish thickness/ the need for finishes and whatever. I wanted to share a few pics of my favorite guitar to play. When I restring I always give a cleaning and this time I thought dang... that looks good.

This is number 208 from Ed. It is a walnut back and sides and I THINK lutz top, can’t remember. Slope D 12 fret. It is VERY responsive, and every time someone pics it up they say “wow”.

I feel like this “naked” finish HAS to add to the guitars sound. I you feel every note wherever it touches you.

So Ed, hats off she’s still going strong and sounds amazing.

In summary, can a simple satin finish look great? Ummmm yea.

I’d love to learn how to do this. It’s not as simple to pull of as it would seem.

It's probably those strings you got on it, lightening the top even more!

From what I understand he harvests it from a particular beaver that only lives in a Canadian lake near his shop...

Sorry I couldn’t resist
I don’t know
