Classical guitar

I found this on my travels today. The label inside says Ricardo Sanchis and it has a beautiful tone. Nice and mellow but with some bite when plucked for good expression. The neck seems true although action is slightly high further up the neck. Not sure if classical guitars have or need truss rods to correct this. The down side is the finish. It looks as if someone has sploshed it with varnish with gay abandon. It's even on the fret board which us breaking up from abrasion from the strings. I was tempted to try and clean it from the fret board as this is where it looks the worse. I've attempted to respray guitars myself historically and know that it's something best left to experts with the correct equipment. I've researched if nitromors is safe and it seems so. Still I'd like to try something less aggressive if possible.

 

Never realised it was banned. A tenant at work was using it around five years ago to strip furniture down to bare wood. He went through a shabby chic phase. I have now inherited a can from him as he was throwing it out. It's nasty stuff for sure and smells very potent. I know it stings when you get it on your skin and dread to know what it would feel like if you got a bit in your eye. Still, plenty of things are carcinogens in modern life. Even saw dust, leather and alcohol are.

 

Nice guitar!

 

Okay thanks for the heads up.

 

It is. It seems a bit odd and doesn't quite add up. It feels like someone has done some restoration project but I can't quite put my finger on it. The frets look a bit unfinished and the varnish around the nut, fret board and neck joint looks a bit messy. Maybe a new fret board has been fitted. Still, it plays and sounds good which is the main thing..
