Dual Build: GSJ-1 and GSM-1

[Simon Barden]

Thanks for the info Simon. I might give it a go one day but it's a bit pricey for one can.. https://luthiersupplies.com.au/mohaw...lulose-lacquer

It's not cheap by any means. Cheaper here in the UK, about £13 for the same size can, so currently AUD$23, almost half the price, but still expensive compared to car acrylic sprays, which are roughly half the price of nitro.

And you'd probably need three cans for a Tele or Strat sized body - two for the body and most of one for the neck. And probably four cans for a bigger bodied guitar like an ES-1. It is quite a soft finish though, so whilst it's easy to polish, it's also easy to mark again.

You've just convinced me to stick with stain and True Oil thanks Simon. I'd stuff the first attempt so it will cost me 4 cans again plus the colour..
