TL DIY KIT MANUAL

NECK FINISH

The neck of the guitar is supplied sealed with a light coat of matte lacquer

and is ready to use. If preferred, the neck can be ﬁnished with a colour or

gloss lacquer. If so, do the following.

The Eco-Rosewood fretboard does not need coating with lacquer, so it is

important to mask off the exposed Eco-Rosewood and frets prior to

spraying. Ensure all parts to be sprayed are free from dirt and dust and that

the environment is dust-free and well-aired. The use of a dust mask is

essential when spraying.

Choose a good quality, clear or lightly tinted wood lacquer aerosol for the

neck and begin at the front and sides of the headstock. Start with a

gradual, even pass to apply a thin coat, allow drying (to be touchable) and

repeat this two or three times. Take care not to apply too much, which may

cause runs. If this happens, sand down the area and re-apply evenly.

After the headstock has become dry, turn the neck over and lay it down on

its fretboard. Repeat the above process for the rest of the exposed maple.

Allow two to three days for the lacquer to fully harden and then, if desired,

polish the lacquered surfaces to get a suitable shine.
