Finishing the Guitar 2

 

 

 

Here are front and back views of the guitar, after I have applied the tortoiseshell pickguard, strung up the guitar, and adjusted the action at the nut and saddle.

If you look really closely, you can see me reflected in the guitar back, as I am taking the photo!

 

 

 

To the left is a photo of the little Size 5 which I made last summer, to illustrate how reflective the LMI waterborne urethane finish can be. What you see in the surface there is the reflection of the blue sky, a green tree, and the white roof of the house next door....I really love using that finish!!! It is easy, safe, and quick to apply, and produces a hard, lustrous finish.

To the right is a close-up of the heel detail of the same Size 5.
