I have used spraycan nitrocellulose lacquer from Stew-Mac on several necks: Lots of this coats and level sanding, followed by buffing and polishing. Obviously that's a gloss finish, which is what I prefer. I also expect it to wear. Polyurethane should be much more durable.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291804 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291790 Wed, 07 May 2008 04:26:34 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance U2Bono269 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291790 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291788 Wed, 07 May 2008 03:53:54 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291788 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291779 Wed, 07 May 2008 03:07:14 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance U2Bono269 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-291779 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-31593 Tue, 06 May 2008 22:55:26 +0000 If I were to buy a Squier strat, then removed the neck finish, sanded down the neck to smooth it, reapply a finish of my choice, polished the frets; would it be possible to make it play like anything like an American strat (fretboard aside for the moment)? Or is there something beyond this - beyond simply the amount of effort n time taken to finish a neck?
Or perhaps taking it further - could I buy any old P.O.S. n do this?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-a-neck/#post-31593
