Finished

I completed the Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. I restrung with steel strings. I also found that the piece I laminated to the top was making the headstock too thick and the friction tuners were wearing out. I fixed that.

Compare to the photo from April.

Refinishing

So I have decided to refinish the Tiple. I have sanded it  down and prepped it for Nitrocellulose lacquer. I had some leftover from the acoustic guitar that I built.

It still needs to be re-strung. I am switching to steel strings to check that out as well.
