Thread Name: Rick needs some 'Guitar finish' info
Subject: Rick needs some 'Guitar finish' info
Hi. One of my students has a "dull finish" Fender acoustic, and although he loves the guitar, he wishes it had a gloss finish on the neck at least. He wanted to know if he can put some polish on the neck and buff it up to play faster. For that matter he also asked about using polish (to put a bit of a sheen on the top, back and sides) on the rest of the guitar. 'Fraid I don't have a clue how to deal with those "flat laquer" finishes. Is it even possible to put a bit of a shine on them, and if so, with what?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Rick
