Finishing supplies are not supplied with the guitar kit. Note—The guitar body is made from spruce wood and the neck from poplar wood. Clear fin- ishes such as lacquer look exceptionally stunning and glossy on these surfaces.

Painting/Finishing Tips:

Always work in a well ventilated area when using finishing materials.

Wear an ANSI-approved respirator mask and safety glasses when using finishing materials!

Fabricate hooks from shirt hangers to sus- pend the guitar components during the fin- ishing process.

Several thinner coats usually produce a nicer finish than one heavy coat. Note—Always follow the finish manufacturer’s instructions.

Dust particles suspended in the air will settle on wet finishes, resulting in less than satis- factory results. To avoid this problem:

1.Leave the finishing room undisturbed for 24 hours prior to applying the finish.

2.Have the guitar components positioned for the finish application upon entering the finish room.

3.Avoid making unnecessary movements upon entering the finish room.

4.Apply the finish and immediately leave the finish room.

5.DO NOT return to the finish room until the specified drying time has elapsed.

Always follow the finish manufacturer’s instructions.

To attach the sound hole decal:

1.Submerge the decal sheet in water until the clear decal slides around on the paper back- ing easily with finger pressure. This usually only takes a few minutes.

2.Remove the decal sheet from the water, let- ting the excess water run off.

3.Lay the decal sheet over the sound hole.

4.Lightly press down on the decal with damp- ened fingers and slowly slide the decal sheet from underneath the decal with the other hand.

5.When the decal sheet is completely removed, lightly press on the decal with a dry cloth to remove the excess water trapped underneath.
