She sure looks nice in the white, sure she looks better with the shellac! Couple things: shellac takes some time to dry, about a year really, and shrinks up exposing all manor of flaws. Best to wait a couple weeks at least before applying the tap plate so you are sure your are happy with the finish. Might really wait a month... use a temp tape on golpeador. Took about 6-9 monthes for the shellac to really cure up and then the guitar brightens up some, a lot on others. She might sound a little flat once you strung her up so don't be surprised. Thinking you are building a fairly stiff box, mine are 1000gram lightweights so your mileage may vary? Of course keep in mind I've only done a handful with the last one being the first I would show friends and family ;) HR
