G-bo Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 hey guys was looking for a little finishing info.i want to refinish the neck on my strat copy.I don't know what the finish is called but the finish i want to use is the same as they use on the squire strats.it feels like there's no finish on the wood at all and it's not glossy but i know there has to be something on it.If anyone knows what this type of finish is called or how to do it would appreciate any info.thanks.

syxxstring Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 A lot of what your looking for is in smoothing out the existing finish. I would start by polishing your exisiting finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syxxstring Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 There are a ton of ways. Steel wool may be good, I use find sandpapers and buffing equipment because thats whats always hooked up in my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flon Klar Guitars Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sounds like maybe you're talking about a satin wax finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sounds like maybe you're talking about a satin wax finish. On a Squire, I doubt it. They seem like mostly poly finishes on the ones I've played and with a little working are usually a pretty good feeling finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
