While the ceruse finish may look good (actually not to me) it is the worst finish for tone. There is a reason why manufacturers sand their guitars smooth it is not for esthetics. Uneven grooves in the guitar can give uneven/negative residual feedback. This can be quite a detriment to your tone. People need to research these mods before applying them to their instruments and destroying any possibility of the instrument ever sounded decent again. American guitar makers will build anything the public is stupid enough to buy. That is the only reason why you see guitars with these finishes hanging on guitar store walls.
