I didn't like that finish in reality, because i never seen it and touched it before in reality. Just listened to it carefully and watched in youtube. I liked the sound and as i worked in a music instrument shop i got it at half price. The real finish was far away i thought it will be, so i just did it and that road worn really shown up after 20 years on black marker finish. Maybe it was stupid, but i like it better now, that i got it new.
