    Thank you all guys!

    Another thing I noticed is that the tone and resonance didn't seem to suffer from all that paperwork and clear coats.

    Going against the common wisdom about thin finishes and tone? Naaah, I still believe there is some truth in that one. But, the 51 came from the factory with several mm of polyurethane finish (read, plastic). Hardly a millimeter more didn't seem to bother it.

    Oh, and it's a very cheap method to radically alter a guitar's appearance. The tissues cost me less than $35 with s/h to Greece. The hours of work needed to complete the project, are another matter though.
