And now for something completely different

Back and sides are……
Angelus black leather dye.
Sanded back till black is only in the grain.
Angelus green.
Rubio monocoat 2C Emerald (two coats)
Rubio monocoat Sheen plus (one coat)
Blacktail Studio N3 Nano ceramic (3 coats each of hard coat and top coat)

So far the top is…
Rubio monocoat 2C pure ( two coats)
Rubio Sheen plus (1 coat)
I will wait a week and put the ceramic coat wich boy protects and ups the sheen.
Great system ! I haven't tried the ceramic coat yet, but love the finish on the Rosewood with just the Sheen Plus. I actually just used the 2c Pure and sheen plus like my guitar on some Black Walnut floating shelves I built for our 'Coffee Lounge' area. Looks great, love Rubio and it smells so good........:)

The smell is so awesome.
 
Well, my latest guitar build is finally complete. It had lots of stops and starts, mostly related to the acoustic bridge. It would have been way easier to use a hard tail bridge, not just because I had to design and build it, but also because string height and intonation were a pain. In the end, I love the way it came out.

I have plenty of experience in wood working, but none in electronics, so I had no idea what would happen when I wired each piezo to a summation board and then directly to the output jack with no on board pre amp. But surprisingly, it works great plugged directly to my amp. Clean tones have that piezo sound. Add some gain and it sounds beautifully angry. Will it be my primary or even secondary guitar. No. But it will look good on my wall.
