The neck of the guitar is sealed at the factory with a thin layer of matt lacquer and is
already ready to use. However, if you would still like to treat the neck with paint or
clear lacquer, follow the instructions below.
Remove the fingerboard and all the frets cleanly before you start painting. Make sure
that all surfaces are free of dust and dirt. Carry out all painting operations in a well-
ventilated, dust-free environment.
Use a clear or lightly coloured wood lacquer of high quality for the neck. Start on the
front and the edges of the headstock. Apply a thin layer evenly, allow it to dry and
repeat this two or three times. If you notice surface irregularities, wait until the paint
has dried completely and correct them with fine sandpaper (e.g. 800
+
) before pro‐
ceeding to paint.
Once the headstock has dried, place the neck on the fingerboard and paint the back
of the neck as described.
Wait another two to three days to dry until the paint is fully cured. Polish or burnish
the neck until it meets your expectations. Take care not to buff too vigorously as this
may remove the finish.
3.2 Mounting the tuners
Insert the four machine heads from the rear side of the headstock into the holes pro‐
vided. Align the tuners so that the tuning pins are vertical to the upper edge of the
headstock.
Fasten the tuners in this position as shown in the picture, initially fastening them
only finger-tight with the screws provided.
