varnish
This gorgeous Bourgeois OM Custom visited the shop recently for a quick setup. It has a bearclaw Italian spruce top, Madagascar rosewood back and sides, all-hide glue construction and a beautiful varnish finish.
I may have to experiment with varnish on my own guitars after seeing this one. Wow, great job Dana and company.
2008 Sadowsky Modern 24 MM [7.2 lbs] :: bass neck re-carve.
I have re-carved another Sadowsky J neck for this player and he prefers a thinner neck and super low action. Both necks were refinished with a “Tung Oil Finish” that is really a wiping varnish as it has a resin mixed in with the oil to speed up drying. This is a super easy, very tactile finish on a maple neck.
