Here are a couple of shots before this get boxed and shipped Fernando. I really like the way this turned out; it has a very vintage guitar look to it.

That's a beauty.  Nando's a lucky man.

really nice 

 

[Great Ape]

Wow! As good as it gets--as always with your work.

 

[Cagey]

Stellar work, as usual.

 

[Nando Vallart]

Perfect!

Is that a satin nitro.  I love how satin looks but always afraid it will shine up on spots of heavy wear.

 

[bagman67]

It's gloss bit it's photographed to minimize reflections.

 

[Cagey]

Looks like a gloss to me, too. You can see the ceiling fixtures in the reflections.

Satin will gloss up. But, you could put a top on that doesn't require a finish and buff the hell out of it to get a satin finish. They tend to stay that way while satin finishes don't. Downside is raw wood bodies tend to get nasty fairly quickly. Body oils, sweat, beer, drool, dirt, hooker dust, etc. all conspire to make you look like some kind of alley cat when you strap the raggedy-assed thing on.

But, tell that to SRV or Willie Nelson. Talk about shameless.

Thank you all for the kind words as always!!!

This is a high gloss as Cagey noted from the reflections, look how clearly the camera tripod can be seen in the picture of the front of the guitar.

 

[Cagey]

They're still good shots. It's a real struggle to get evenly well-lit shots that don't talk back to you.

Yep....I did not scroll to the right to see all the image.  Looks fantastic
