The risk of refinishing to a natural wood look (lalo na kung basswood ung kahoy) is we'll never know what it looks like (the grain) until you sand down the filler. Buti na lang, medyo lucky ako sa grain........
though it has been 4 to 5 months since I strummed this guitar unplugged when it still have the black paint, but I perceived more volume when strumming unplugged with this new finish, I can hear more resonance and the wood vibrating on its own now.......
