The folks that get a guitar from me now know my story and realize that they have to be a bit more loving with their guitars. The finish is as pretty as nitro and I sincerely believe my guitars sound better now that I french polish them. Once you get the hang of it it becomes kind of a Zin thing. I love doing it. Well that enough of my ramblings.
