Subject: RE: Rick needs some 'Guitar finish' info
IMHO, Tung Oil does not harden enough to be a good guitar finish and will definitely deaden the sound. Martin satin finishes will shine up real nice with a bit of automotive rubbing compound or Maguire's # 7, or even plain old skin and cloth applied over time, although they won't get a true gloss. Don't be afraid to try.
