Nitro Guitar Finish Tutorial - Part 1: Preparation & Grain Filler

How to create a perfect nitrocellulose guitar finish. In the first part of this tutorial I will show you how to prepare a guitar body (or neck) for finishing. I'm using a body that requires grain filling, since the quality of this job really determines the quality of your finish in the end. Take your time in the preparation stage and you will be rewarded with a perfect, high gloss shine.
