Damn son! That is a very shiny back you got there! Is that a lacquer or gloss oil finish?

This thread settles it. I'm doing this for one of my Jacksons.

Thanks for posting this Cyanide Assassin. I'll probably be PM'ing you with questions haha.

I say no to that, if the glue line turns out good. You should only think about doing this if it doesn't. And I'd say go for a rosewood strip if it turns out to be necessary, to tie it in with the fretboard. I think too many unrelated species of wood here and there will make it look too messy.

So not a French polish?

Im doing a french polish on the top and headstock. Ive stained the back with a walnut stain and clear coated the back and sides. Since the french polish is a lot easier damaged and scratched i decided to only do it to the veneer top.

That walnut stain looks fucking glorious.
