I have this guitar - got a deal on Ebay due to small crack in top - FANTASTIC guitar! Rich sound with oodels of sustain - anything by Walden is great - the guitar with the carbon graphite rails in the neck are the BOMB!! I understand John Lee once studied guitar construction with Charles Fox - who is one (in a small handfull) of the worlds greatest guitar makers.
Nitrocellulose lacquer is made from plant fiber. Because it can vibrate along with the moving soundboard, it has been the finish material of choice among the best luthiers since the late 1800s. A satin finish allows for the application of a thin coat, transferring more energy into creating beautiful music. A satin finish is also smoother than a glossy finish which can sometimes feel sticky. this allows the musician to play with greater ease and speed.
@linktwo it has a really dull gloss look to it, and it is pretty rugged. It looks gorgeous up close, doesn't get all covered in dust and fingerprints like that cheap high gloss polyurethane coat that most acoustics have.
