The glossy finish gives any surface an elegant and luxurious look. This type of finish is achieved by applying several layers of lacquer or resin, which are then polished to a high gloss. This provides a smooth, reflective finish, enhancing color and structure of substrate. The glossy finish not only improves aesthetics, but also protects against dust, moisture and minor scratches.
A semi-acoustic guitar is an electric guitar with a semi-hollow body that combines features of both electric and acoustic guitars. It has an internal cavity that enhances resonance and provides a warmer tone than full-bodied electric guitars, but is less susceptible to feedback than hollow-bodied guitars. Semi-acoustic guitars are popular in jazz, blues, and rock.
