Live nude guitars...
Krystof01,
Depending on the type of guitar (hollow body or solid) you may
see exactly what type of wood went in to making your guitar.
Other than that it shouldn't alter structural integrity.
Gibson makes a natural finish Les Paul- with only a sealant
applied to protect the wood and close the pores. John Lennon
had his Casino hollowbody definished and sealed for a unique look. Think of it this way- if you don't like the look you can take
several routes to alter it:
Bookmatched veneer- expensive but beautiful.
Stain- if you like the grain pattern of the wood.
Paints, lacquers, metallics and enamels...
"Faux" finishes for a marbled or crackle effect.
Have fun with it. I picked up
a Fender Telecaster and did the
metallic red/silver white/blue finish for a Buck Owens lookalike.
You could even do a Union Jack- cool effect on a Casino or hollow
body style.
Good luck and have fun! ( If you do this post us a picture of your
guitar, will you? Thanks!)
