This comes with the ###### clear plastic stick on "scratch-sheet", which I detest. Being a flattop, its liable to get some wear on the top, so I made an ebony pickguard for it out of a peghead veneer, using the original pickguard "sheet" as a pattern/template.
Here's its got 4 coats of satin Deft on it, and needs to be sanded down (tomorrow) for another coat. I used Deft as it fills the grain pretty well, and as you can see, the result is just about totally filled at this point. I'm going to put six coats on, and just rub out the last coat with a cotten cloth to knock the satin down to more of a low luster finish.
