jshelton5040 well your right,, maybe a bit heavy handed , but correct in so much as .. i didnt know what it was , i just knew it was thick , as i took a small piece off ... it was thick it was tough and it was orange . and it came from a factory, possibly in the region of Alicante i have to stand by my statement on how it killed the sound of the guitar , as that was the reason I started to take it off in the first place ... and now it is louder and has much more treble ., so it was a bit of a gamble on my part ,, it could have went the other way ... i suppose however it didnt .. the only thing i do regret is that i didnt make it look very nice .. but . i could still redo it again someday perhaps , as a luthier, i could even get advice from you , yourself . fyr4efect nothing wrong with a bit of bling or a chandelier in a mobile home ... i was wondering why you were redoing the Castillo ... i still see it seems very clean around the bridge ,,,,

What are the chances of it going the other way? well not being a luthier ,,, i just didnt know what was gonna happen ... it sounded logical , but in practice ..... anyway it did work out just fine , i would like to do it again .. I often thought of getting a cheapo classical guitar and trying to sand , file and make into a negra , i suppose , just for the hell of it , and to see how it would react to lowering bridge and sanding the top away ... Anders , yes it probably was polyurethane.... Estevan , yes it probably was a Conde
