Ok, there are various guitar finishes that have different attributes, thus far I know, Poly being the indestructible and least reactive but also the one that seals the wood's tone the most and Tung/Tru Oil being the least intrusive but also least helpful since it can't take any color (Trans or otherwise) and does very little in protecting the wood.
In any case, which finish, in your opinion/knowledge, would lend its' self best for a Trans color, be relatively non-reactive AND keep the wood's tone as intact as Tung/Tru Oil (or as close as possible)?
Also, if that's asking too much, is there a way to finish the front and the back of a one-piece body with no top with different finishes for example nitro for the front and just an oil for the back?
Please offer me your wisdom oh great ones
