Natural finished guitars

Here is my natural wood stratocaster named "Woody"

I agree with you ppl, a natural wood finish is beautiful!

Do you guys ever think that the wood from a guitar could also have been made for something else? You know, from the same tree.

I think in my case Fender made a guitar and then used the left over wood for well, umm perhaps maybe a toilet lid.

My Martin acoustic has gorgeous wood work!

"Mart" is my Martin's name, it isn't Mark. It's Mart, short for Martin.

I'm a fan. I do like a little bit of a burst too if possible. One reason why I like natural finish guitars is you can see the quality of the wood. I don't know how much filler or wood putty could be lurking under the finish of a painted guitar.

I've always been a sucker for natural wood grain. The very first guitar I coveted (before I even started to actually play) was a natural blonde Stratocaster that I used to stare at in the local Music House. Well I had to settle for a no-name Les Paul copy as my first guitar, but my buddy's dad bought him that same Fender Strat that I wanted. #-o

 

Well, at least I got to play it back in the day, and my friend still owns the same guitar today and he still lets me play it whenever I want. B)

 

Back in the day 1985ish

when it comes to painted guitars, let your ears and fingers make the decision. If it's properly made and has quality wood it will feel and sound amazing.

[thumbup] Definitely. That's how I picked out my V & SG.

This is my Italian Spruce and Bosnian Maple dreadnought, built by Italian luthier Bruno Barnes.

 

Sorry for the huge picture, but I linked it from imageshack and I don't know how to resize it
