Here's the buffed out back. You can see it's like a mirror. This is black, in case you're wondering. It's not the best photo, it has some dust and stuff there at thte end. But the reason I'm showing you this is to show the shine. It's so good, on the treble side of the body there you can see a guitar hanging up in the background. Just sweet. When I made this I didn't have finishing down very well, but it turned out suprisingly well after all these years. There are some sub surface scratches, but it still looks pretty darn good.
