Some Pics of my work
The final look is deliberately a little vintage or relic (used today often on electric guitars but not so much on acoustics).
I started with a couple coat of stain, walnut color, and then start with the coat of shellac, sanding with # 400, then 600, then 800 on the final coat of shellac. It is very bright and I'm satisfied with the result (there was my first experience in this kind of work). The wood looks much more free to vibrate and less "choked" by the thick plastic that covered the guitar before. The sound it benefits certainly.

Looks good. Have you played it. Does it sound different that the orig. finish?

This looks good Giurmax, bravo!
- i am too in the process of fixing up my Yamaha Flamenca, although i suspect that thick varnish/polish layer to help the guitar stay sturdy - i play a lot of percussion on mine - so i m dreaming of a way to stain it WITHOUT sanding it down to the wood. - i d like the back/sides brown/chocolate like yours, and the top wood/red - at the moment it s all yellowish traditional flamenca style) - my plan is too sand off the shinny layer with steelwool - apply some slightly-tainted shellac with a tampon (i ll practice on the back of the guitar); hopefully after a couple of layers i d get that chocolate brown you got.  This is after fixing the crack and sanding with steelwool - i like the matte finish  => which stain color did you use? => did you apply shellac with a tampon/clothe?
