Love your pics Pete. Must have all been taken before 4.30. There's no beers to be seen.

Regards
Bob, Geelong

They all look great. Maurie has really been busy.

What finish are you using on those now?

Allen's guitar is KTM9 waterbase high gloss.

All of mine are off the gun Mirotone 3220 30% gloss, with the classical and macca having U-beaut hard French polished tops and lacquered back and sides.
I tend to like the natural appearance of 30% and only use high gloss if requested.
Cheers Maurice
