natural finish for old guitar

Aquacoat makes a clear filler. Don't get the white unless you want to add dye to it.

Clear aquacoat dries transparent but a light coloured wood may darken slightly similar to what it might look like if bare wood got wet.

aqua coat website recommends a sanding sealer before application. thoughts?

They are just saying if you are applying a stain or seal coat, do that first.

Directions For Use: Aqua Coat Clear Wood Grain Filler should be applied after the piece is stained, and/or a seal coat (Aqua Coat “X-119” Sanding Sealer) has been applied.

If not, just put it on.

If no stain or seal coat is used, you may apply Clear Grain Filler to the raw wood.

Ahh it seems i'm not a very thorough reader. Well the aqua coat arrives friday. I'm finishing the sanding today and tomorrow to probably 220. I noticed they have some top coat products. Not that i plan on using them, has anyone ever tried these out?
