Do peple treat the insides of wood bodied resonators with varnish etc, so the wood does'nt soak up the vibration? Or do they use different veneers to facethe body internally? I doubt anyone puts thin metal plates in.
Or maybe they are just left 'as is'? I suppose they are on older resonators.
Just wondered what people do nowadays.

Spooky coincidence - I just today varnished the inside of my Ozark wood-bodied reso, prior to dropping in a National cone - figured that a more 'reflective' interior than the original cheap ply would be a good thing, but hard to say, really, what difference in sound (if any); I can say that it hasn't stopped it from being one LOUD guitar, now that it's National-propelled - for a total outlay of less than £300, I now have a lil tone-monster, tho I wouldn't have messed around with an expensive one..

I think most people leave them "as is", just as they do with regular steel-strung guitars. I gather there's a fashion among some makers for applying a light coat of varnish inside classical guitars, but that's probably done because violin makers do it & they do it because "it's always been done that way".
