Preparation: Body and neck finish (optional)
Both the body and the neck are sanded ready for lacquering at the factory, so that they can easily
accept oil- or wax-based stains as well as lacquer from spray cans. As wood is a natural material that
expands or contracts under different temperature and humidity conditions, it is recommended to seal
the body and the back of the neck with a lacquer finish. All drillings and milled holes for attachments
and electronics, the neck pocket as well as the fingerboard and the frets should be well taped
beforehand, as they may no longer fit accurately due to an additional layer of varnish.
Caution:
Carry out any painting work on a clean and dust-free surface and in well-ventilated
surroundings at all times!
Tip 1 : For best results, it is advisable to try out the colour and technique used on a
separate piece of wood.
Tip 2:
Although the body and neck are pre-sanded at the factory, any irregularities in the
sanding can be corrected with fine-grained sandpaper (1000 grit) to ensure that the wood
absorbs the colour evenly.
Tip 3:
To avoid cracks and bursts in the lacquer, the lacquer should cure for at least 3-4 days,
depending on the lacquer used, before attaching parts to the body or neck.
