JohnH Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I have bought an inexpensive Behringer guitar for my son. It plays OK, but the neck has some rough edges. It has a matte finish, but I dont know if this is some sort of Matte laquer or just natural wood. Id like to do a little fine sanding to improve it. Does anyone have any advice? with thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeiscosRock Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 If its the Behringer strat then its lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 It sounds as if you have a guitar with a natural color neck i.e. not dyed or tinted and with some sort of clear finish on it. If so, my suggestion to smooth the roughness (I'm assuming the roughness is in the finish, e.g. little nibs) by lightly rubbing with 0000 steel wool. It will retain the satin (matte) nature of the finish and smooth the nibs. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 probably not laquer.probably poly...but it doesn't matter johnsilver is correct.0000steel wool is just the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Thanks very much for the replies. Yes it is the Behinger 'Strat' - comes with a V-tone guitar and amp pack. The wire wool sounds like the way to go. cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
