Very difficult, have repaired the finishes on these before, they are listed as a satin finish, but they have a moderate level of gloss which makes it hard to match any new applied finish into the existing finish.

Lowden also make their tops very thin for a cedar top, so its risky sanding the existing finish off and doing a new one

I wont respray / refinish another manufacturers top that for cedar is under 2.9mm or spruce under 2.6mm, just to much risk to destroying the top
