It is more of a finish to me. I dig my MG V63 !
I thought there was some color added to make the wood more "golden".
With the old Conversion Varnish, it would gradually yellow with age, but as far as I know they didn't add color...

I recall reading they did experiment with Amber Mapleglo in 2005, a few were made, but the difference was too subtle. And this is what JH posted in 2008:

That would be like discontinuing the filling inside of an Oreo cookie. Maplego shalt not perish,....

I like that Oreo cookies are Jetglo on the outside. :mrgreen:
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Of course you do know that the guy who invented the filling for Oreo cookies passed away recently. R.I.P. Mr. Oreo, Sam Porcello...
