The neck is smooth and easier to play, and it really looks like a guitar in a higher price bracket.Īll I need now is to find out how to get a genuine black rubber grommet for the toggle (nobody sells them) and I'm all set. In terms of looks, the guitar now has a nice even matte surface, with no blinding shine whatsoever. The sustain was better, the notes were clearer, the treble was brighter, etc. What's more, the only reason why new guitars are finished in Poly is because it's cheaper, and there's no danger of exploding like when a Nitro finish is applied.īTW, once I made the decision to wet-sand the surface almost down to the bare wood, the guitar came to life in a way I really hadn't anticipated. They may be the most sought after of the Korean Epi's, but lets face it: Guitars shouldn't look or feel like they're covered in an inch of oversprayed plastic! Yes, it protects the wood (the job of every finish) but I found that the Poly was a magnet for dirt, and oil, and what's worse it really choked the sound. I would have never done that to a Peerless Casino' date=' they're some of the most saught after Korean Epiphones and ALWAYS had stunning finshes.
