I found this info by clicking the link ~ I don't believe it's been mentioned (explicitly) in the discussion:

This guitar is selling for a mere THIRTY FIVE BUCKS! Can't hardly go wrong at that price.

If you have the time, and enough elbow grease, skip the toxic chemicals and just sand the thing down (40 grit paper is fine enough), rub on some tung oil, let dry 24 hours, repeat 3-5 times, and finish with a coat of paste wax (such as Johnson's, available just about anywhere in the US, including supermarkets). It'll look great, and still sound OK.
