Re: Help with finish recommendations
I have quite a lot of experience with nitro laquer from ReRanch spray cans. I've done many solid body guitars with this, and you can get satin clear coat.
That said, when I needed to decide for my first build, I took a chance on a product called Royal Lac, a modernized version of shellac. I whipped on the sealer coats and two clear coats, and after sanding smooth, French polished the top coats. Came out great with that shiny but not too shiny shellac look.
