Welcome to episode 8 of this ONE-day Build...yes...really!
Ben continues to make this Star Wars-inspired guitar, and this is my personal favourite part of any build - the finishing.
This episode is parts of day 8 and 9 with Ben sanding the guitar in preparation for stain. He uses the new Ox Blood vibrant stain on the back and neck and finishes it off with Penetrating and High Build Oil.
