I have a '92 Ibanez Saber 540S that had a veneer top and back and a translucent poly coat. It weighed a ton and sounded pretty plain vanilla.
I didn't like the color and really love natural oil finishes, so I spend the day removing the poly and veneers. It was a hell of a lot work, not something I'd want to do again....
But the end results were spectacular. I stained and oiled it, and now it is much lighter and sounds incredible. The notes/harmonics went from plain to full spectrum dominance.
Has anyone else done this and noticed that their guitar sounds way better with no poly finish and/or veneers?
