Alexander Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Hi all, Well I made the decision to lacquer my neck (well, my guitar's neck to be precise) with satin aerosol lacquer to seal it because I don't like gloss finishes on necks particularly. This might sound daft, but now I've done it, it feels rough and kind of gritty. What can I do (save playing it in) to smooth it down a little? Would I be right in thinking that playing the neck for a few months will naturally smooth it? Quote
Maiden69 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 If you spray it right it shouldn't be that gritty, it should be smooth. I did mine like that, on the fret board, and it is smooth, but if you rub it it starts to get shinny so it will never stay satin on the back of the neck, unless your hand is like a spider and never touches it.

Alexander Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Posted July 28, 2004 Hmm well, it's a rosewood fretboard, so I masked it off. The lacquer is just on the rest of the neck and headstock. I don't mind if it gets kinda shiny through use, it's the high-gloss finish on necks I don't really get on with. Quote
