i have rosewood boards on warmoth necks and they finished the side of the board.....

i have  akoa strat that i did in tung and teak oil. it's super resonant! and tru-oil is great too.... but a a lacquer finish looks best on koa, i think. especially if you have a really nice piece of wood!

i have two jazzmasters. they are both set up old school- one is a 59 and the other is a clone. i have spent FAR too much free time in the pursuit of jazzmasters in the past 4 years. Weeks on offsetguitars.com------ in this case, I would say take the buzzstop off 1st. that'll give you an idea...

WOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW seriously beautiful bass, dude! congrats!!!!

i have friends who have worked with padouk, either amateur luthiers or cabinet  makers, and they told me that the wood will stay quite red even if you use oil as a finish. a buddy of mine made a great padouk table and used a urethane on top and it is still very red.

i have a 2lb8oz white korina JM body... so far, i have put a traditional maple and braz rw neck on it. BUT i was very interested in a korina neck with ebony--- i vote for korina!

i've used circa1850 mixed tung and teak oil for some time- i love it! it penetrates and makes a fairly hard coat. i've put it on mahogany, maple, walnut, alder... it only adds a little bit of colour- not much to speak of.
