It also depends on which color of cream you use. Here is my St James in Cherry with applying cherry and brown cream.Question on vintage cherry (for the SJII): I’ve noticed in some pics, cherry appears to be a true red color, while other pics shows a mahogany color that is a reddish brown, with clear brown tones. Is it just the lighting/processing of some cameras, or is there variation with how a pair of vintage cherry will look?
