I have noticed many questions in different forums asking for help/info on re-finishing. I've been doing restoration work for almost 42 years this year, and was thinking about starting a thread to pass along what I've learned about re-finishing guitars. This would be a step-by-step instructional thread, based on using lacquer as the medium, covering preparation, application and buffing. I promise to make it simple yet thorough, so even if you have never painted anything you'll be able to understand the process, and determine whether you want to take it on, or pay someone else to do it for you. It will be based on using readily available refinishing products, and won't require you to have a compressor and spray equipment. So use the poll and let me know. Thanks!
