I typically do not like the feel of high gloss coatings on wood.......especially on the back part of a neck. How do you feel about the use of oils or waxes to seal the wood? What is the best protective coating that wont mess with the tone of the wood? |

I like polymerized tung oil a lot for necks and the finish on solidbodies. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for an acoustic top, as I don't know that it gets hard enough, but for everything else it's good. You will have to renew it from time to time, I think, and you want to use polymerized tung oil, not straight tung oil, or it'll never dry. |
