Covered Areas

In preparation for the finish coating, the fol- lowing parts of the guitar (Figures 10 & 11) need to be covered:

Bridge Location

Fingerboard

Sound Hole (Hole Filled With Newspaper)

Figure 10. Masked bridge area and

blocked sound hole.

Figure 11. Masked fingerboard.

Use a small stick of wood to carefully press all the masking tape edges securely to the guitar pieces. The finish coat can seep under these edges, especially near corners, uneven edges, and where the frets meet the fingerboard. Note— Failure to correctly mask off these areas could result in unrepairable damage to the guitar.
