Ok so maybe this us a strange question but I'm curious.
So in a very short amount of time I've worn right through the varnish on the top of my mandolin. It's engleman spruce so it's very white and doesn't visually look very good in contrast of the dark stain on the rest of the top. When you see Sam Bushs Hoss or David a grismans Crusher, the wood looks like a nice golden warm hue so it actually looks great. I realize a lot of it could be from age and over time has really darkened, but even Dominick's Leslie's Gilchrist which had almost no marks on it when he first got it has that nice darker look. Is there anything I could do to tone that bright white engleman some?
