Neck Finishing Question


amazure

Recommended Posts

Hello, I just finished my guitar body and am going to start finishing the neck today. I bought an unfinished neck from warmoth and was wondering if its ok to use masking tape to tape off the fretboard and such and then just use a spray gun to polyurethane it. If anyone has any better techniques i would love to hear them.

"Once stripped, lightly sand the neck. Normally only #220 and #320 grades will be needed. If the finger board is not maple tape the board to protect it. I have found it best to tape just the face of the fretboard. Tape over the bevel line of the frets but not beyond leaving the sides along with the position markers clear to be sprayed. "
