I was at Solo Music this afternoon t o pick up a few new luthier tools and parts for another project guitar, and while there, I picked up a rather nice strat kit. The body is basswood, and is quite nice. no blemishes or flaws, and the front of the body appears to be one piece. My other kits I've finished had basswood as well, and I just sanded, painted and clear coated. On this one, I'd like to attempt a natural or stained finish. Does anyone have any experience in finishing basswood in a natural (Tru-Oil or Tung Oil) or a water based stain finish that can make a recommendation? Or am I dreaming, and should accept that basswood is cheap and should just be sprayed and clear coated?
Thanks as always for the advice.
