repoman, that is looking more and more slick with every update
frodog, that's cool! I always liked the way those look, sadly when you are over 6' tall and not small they make you look like a disney bear..

fucking orange classical instrument varnish.. this is not my first battle with this crap.. we hates it! It's almost all off the top.. so glad I masked under the top binding and am not touching the B&S&N... Also the top was not very level when they put that finish on.. it's like they did it after they stated adding coats of finish.. under the finish the top is pretty wavy.. On a positive note getting this shit off the top seems to have helped reduce the distortion that was happening with the top being broken under tension..
Also finish wise... Thinking on either just leaving it natural [it's western red cedar], graying it like I did on my 12 and my Les paul, or, black violin varnish.. kind'a want a dark top.. kinda like....
