I put the strings back on my guitar after a week of hardening on the finish. I ended up with 3-4 coats on the back and sides with a couple of light rubs with a small amount of the tru-oil. The top has all kinds of scratches that you can't see unless you look really closely, but thems the breaks. I think I could do a better job next time, that's for sure.


And, it still sounds good and plays nicely, although I had been playing my Collings for a week with its shorter scale length (24.9") and when I picked up mine, it felt so much longer! (That's what she said, as my kids say....I would never say that!)

Now, to plot for the next one.
