Open-pore finishes are not just about the aesthetics, the lack of five or six coats of gloss also leaves the wood freer to breathe and it is therefore more resonant. This is where the guitar’s body skips the process where filler is applied to in-fill the wood’s naturally occurring tiny pits and grain marks, leaving what some people refer to as an ‘orange peel’ effect. The solid sapele back and sides are also bookmatched, stain-finished and left open-pore. The grain might not be as ruler-straight as on a high-end guitar, but that’s missing the point somewhat. The solid Sitka spruce bookmatched top here is a fine selection and has an almost quilted hue to it.
