Stan, I absolutely could not agree with you more! I will be French polishing this guitar. I have been doing a great deal of research and testing of French Polish methods and not the modern French polish methods that try to emulate a contemporary finish look. I’ll have a much more to say and show as we get into it this week!
Thanks for following along and for you thoughts.

Mark
