He has another guitar listed. I sent a message asking to see a pic of the back. I’ll let you know if he responds.
Yeah I saw that while trying to get a handle on whether he's been active since the ST302 was taken down, before I commented.
Comment was only half intended in humor, 'cause ya just never know.
Even though I got no dog in the hunt you're right, interested parties might find the info useful.
I do think it's been stripped, though, because there're no gloss highlights in the photos and shadows in the pores make 'em look like they've never been filled.
Might have been stripped and resprayed with just a real thin coat, never buffed?
Just don't recall ever seeing one look like that.
Even wonder about the "Nat" designation; I'd expect it to be lighter even if it IS 'hog but if it's the residue of original stain maybe that's actually what they did for that finish color that year?
