I've been playing my mandolin in the white now for about three weeks and have taken it out on several occasions. I've done some trial color boards, and an almost unanimous choice is amber, but several people have liked it in the white and questioned the need for color at all. This got me thinking of clear coating the top, since spruce seems to be problematic to stain, then doing all the maple in amber. I can't recall seeing this but surely it must have been done before.
Anyone have any pics of this color combination? Or any clear top color back and sides build. I would assume the wood would darken over time.
