Hello Peeps, Can I ask if anyone knows what finish Fender use on the back of their necks to make them so smooth? Cheers, Russ 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Hi Fortunately here in the U.S. everyone seems to use the abundance of selections of quick dry sanding and clear coat lacquers, different viscosities. Prices range from cheap to expensive. I go c...

@tv101 Only on my fourth build (and My workshop is garden/kitchen table) but I really like this clear coat from Northwest; I've managed to get a couple of really nices finishes even when spraying in ...

I will add that this is only for electric guitars, not acoustic.

Never tried rattle cans, I used to be in body shops so used to the 2k clear. If you have a small body repair place near to you they may be willing to chuck in the spray booth with another job and lick...

@mezy2K rattle cans are one option I'm considering, Brad Angove seems to manage a good finish with them (though of course, that guy has lots of experience with different spray methods).

I use car two pack clear, needs to be sprayed on but have known people to use a roller, a good fine flat and polish

I'm looking for a gloss, fairly durable clear coat that I can apply at home with no specialist spray equipment.It seems like pretty much everything that is showcased in YouTube Luthier videos (Crystal...

Looks Fantastic @bpower. Great Job. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

It looks awesome @bpower! I like that flat spot on the bottom of the body, it’s different and looks cool. Enjoy your new guitar and have fun planning the next one!

@bpower Looks great I think any experienced builder would be happy with it.

Now to plan for the next build. 🙂 @bpower Nice, well done. I’ve just looked through your photos, it looks stunning. Like you said, on to the next one. 👍

That looks fantastic @bpower, well done.

I would like to first say a huge thank you to Mark, Carol and the team at Bailey guitars for providing this platform for me to achieve a huge goal of mine. I just finished my first acoustic build. Spr...

I wouldn’t call myself a Scot even though I’ve live here since I was at school. Still a posh cockney from West London at heart. In fact the longer I live here the less I like it. Thank goodness I’m cl...

Looking Good @robin. Great work. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Excellent @robin, looks great!

@robin Hey, that looks very nice indeed. Great colours and a nice shine. 👍

My little rest piece polished up quite well so I've gone ahead and stained the body. There was a little flaw in the body that I had to fill and it didn't take the stain very well. So I mixed some dye ...

@bonnywood I have the LP plans and am going to make paper templates for peebee, so I can make a second set if you like. It’s a hard build I think.
