Other that the fact that the previous owner needs to be slapped sideways, I think we can do something with this guitar.

Facts are these:

D-28 - 2005 serial number
VERY poor shellac refinish job currently on the top and neck.
No real cosmetic problems besides the ugly finish.
Back and sides have no real issues.

Set up well, plays well.

What finish will be accurate to the guitar?

Thanks!
