This manual will give you information that you can use to do your own finish and spot repairs on guitars. As with any project there is a great deal of time involved with learning to do things correctly, but I have found over the years that slowing down, doing things step by step, you can come very close to perfect results every time. This manual will provide that step by step instruction to guide you in learning to apply a Lacquer finish to your guitar. I have provided examples of Both Acrylic and Nitrocellulose lacquer, and full paints as well as spot repairs on various instruments in my shop. The guide is the first in the Guitar Works series and is fully illustrated with over 50 full color images and descriptive text to guide you. I hope you enjoy the following information and find it useful to you in your own instrument work, Geo Dell
