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...

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...
