Hey fellas! I don't think I've done much in the way of posting over here in the acoustic forum.... might even be my first time.
Looking for some advice on whether I 'should' do something.... recently acquired a new-to-me acoustic guitar. Its a well known name-brand, somewhat higher-end. Overall in great shape, but the back of the neck has the mumps; not a big deal, just some resin working its way out of the wood. A quick sanding will fix it right up.
I have a particular finish that I spray frequently on guitars I've built. I am quite fond of the way it feels and after handling it, I've had many customers choose the same as their neck finish. Since I'm going to be working on this acoustic anyway, I've considered spraying my favourite finish on the back of the neck.
While I'm planning to keep this guitar long-term, you never know with this sort of thing. Am I potentially asking for trouble with future resale value should I ever decide to sell it by using a "non-OEM" finish?
