I am good friends with Dr. Jonathan Conant, the luthier who built the OP's guitar he is inquiring about. Dr. Conant has never offered aging toner for his finishes. This guitar is a textbook example of one that has matured to an awesome sound and appearance as well with the passage of time. I had great seller's remorse in letting that guitar go, but I had a new Conant OM underway coming to me. My only problem with it is I'm not likely to live long enough for it to acquire the attributes of this dread. You could string that dread with bailing wire and get an incredible sound.
