No finish on the back of a body?

[Failtastic]

Please excuse me if I've done something wrong, but I'm new around here.

Now, I'm looking to order a Jazzmaster style body with a 2-piece Indian Rosewood back and then possibly a maple or spruce top. My problem is I want the look of a burst on the guitar, but at the same time I want the resonance of an unfinished body. Is it possible to have the top finished but leave the rosewood back completely raw?

Thanks for the help!

I would call and ask. There may be a $45-55 upcharge.

thats my thought. if they can tape off the body for a clean line, couldn't they just tape off the back and sides and just shoot a top? you might be required to get binding on it if they can do it. otherwise i don't know how they could go from a gloss top to a clean back without a really obvious line that screams "this is where the finish stops!"
