I just recently picked up a 1971 s-90. And it seems like the guitar doesn't have a finish at all. However, i don't see any sanding marks and the headstock logo is completely intact. There is no finish inside the control cavity like there is on Dane's s-90. Is it possible that it came straight out of the factory with out a finish.
I already rubbed a little lemon oil on the top ( probably a dumb idea, i don't know) which is why is looks a little shinier. I think i am going to get some tung oil to finish the job. You can see on the back that is had been sitting in some serious moisture at some point in time, but the wood doesn't look to be warped or bubbled at all.
I wish i would have taken some pictures before i started working on it.
