Finishing the Neck

Some of the finishing options include stains, lacquers, varnishes and oil finishes. Traditionally this style of guitar has a clear finish on the neck. Depending on the type of finish, they can be applied with a spray gun, brush, rag, or a spray can. Finish materials and books on finish- ing instruments can be ordered through Grizzly Industrial or numerous luthier supply catalogs.
