I noticed a used Oxnard D-40 on line @ Guitar Center and decided to do a little research. I was under the impression that this was a $2,500 list price guitar and they had it used for $990
Much like NH, Oxnard builds 2 styles, the Traditional and what they call the "natural", like the Standard version from NH.
The Trad has all the expected appointments from the Chesterfield logo, 3 piece neck and Adk bracing. Big price swing as well, $2,400 v $1,600. The guitar @GC is a natural.
What I found interesting was while the Trad has an NCL finish the "natural" offers this:
An elegant and thin satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar broken-in look and feel, while allowing the tone woods to reach their optimal sonic potential.
Varnish???
I know they are technically the same though a varnish is typically referred to a finish you brush , not spray like lacquer.
Anyone have one or know what it looks like?
