Hello chaps. Got a little question............
My strat build is getting close to being finished and I just need to install the pickguard and finish the setup, the only bit that I want to improve on the look is the F-hole. I would like to put some kind of finish in there. The F-hole is just natural (alder) at the moment and the look of the guitar is more sultry so the natural look of the light toned unfinished wood just unbalences the look of the guitar a little. Any sugestions?
I will have to sand the inside of the hole down so it isnt so rough in there and then I am thinking............. tung oil? I really just want to stain it and protect the wood a little. Can you get tung oil in different shades for a richer or lighter tone? Is there anything I should know before trying to tung oil the guts of an F-hole?
Thanks in advance. :rock-on:
