I need to add a couple of coats of poly to the new stained wood cab. Satin or gloss?

what color is the stain?

If you're using that dark rosewood I think satin would look great, but then again I'm partial to satin poly in general.

Satin for me.

Matt

On that color, I'd go gloss.

Gloss for sure. It looks nice.

I think the satin would look classier ... less quot;bling bling look at me.quot;

Gloss.. if the wood quality is there go with it. I almost also prefer gloss unless I am going after a more subtle type look. For this application I'd go with gloss. Are you using Minwax stains and polys? I have used almost everythin and really like the Minwax product. Looks great by the way man....

For an amp, satin. Who wants to worry about polishing their amp!? Plus, on that color, I just think satin is better.

I'd go gloss. Make it something you'd want to put in the living room- nice and classy. I wouldn't mind polishing my amp!

I have to believe that the gloss poly would quot;bring outquot; more of the wood grain; if that's the look you are going for. Satin finishes tend to hide more than the gloss will.

Satin, it'll hide any scratches and smudging when it gets touched.

im very biased to satin =)

Satin it is and it's going well. Several coats into it. If the wife says satin, then it's satin.

P-whipped... (j/k)

It will look beautiful either way. I wish I had grand burning a hole in my pocket!

A grand is just an insane amount of money if you really think about it. 6 years ago, I'd have laughed at you guys had you told me what gear I'd be owning now. Furthermore, I'd have found quite a bit of humor in the proposition that I'd be building amps with my own fingers. Just pure insanity.

One can never predict the future.

Satin! Less polishing to do...
