This one's for me. Features koa, ebony, mop & abalone inlays, Gotoh open gear tuners. I may add a MISI batteryless preamp to it. Finish is French Polish. The setup is for fingerpicking. www.likekestrings.com

Very nice. I wasn't aware anyone still used french polish. It's very labor intensive. And obviously very beautiful.

| Paul, French polish is labor intensive. On the other hand its done in a few days compared to lacquer finish which needs to cure for a couple of weeks before you can polish it out. The advantage of French polish is it puts down a very thin finish which is supposed to retain the sound characteristics of the wood (i.e, not muddy the sound). |
