How is this finish achieved?

It's called ceruse. In this particular example, the guitar is sprayed white over raw wood, or a light seal coat. Then a black pigmented pore-filler is rubbed into the pores, to create contrast.

Wherein the black pore-filler is added first, then the whole thing is dyed red, then clear-coated.
