Quilted Maple Guitar Build Part 3 | Applying a Tru-Oil Finish and Completing the Guitar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- This is the final episode of the quilted maple guitar build. With all of the parts completed and sanded, its finally time to apply a finish. I'm using Tru Oil for the finish on this guitar. I'll apply 4-5 coats of tru oil then after its dried, I'll use some 0000 Steel Wool to buff the finish back to a matte sheen. After a bit of assembly and wiring, this guitar is done. I'm really liking the look of this finish. Let me know what you think of it in the comments.

That turned out so cool. The black hardware with the natural finish is a winner.
Thanks Dave, This was exactly the look I was hoping for.
The black hardware with that finish was a good idea. Looks great!
Thanks! I really like the way it turned out.
The back of the guitar really popped when you applied the oil to it. Looks great both front and back Jeff.
Turned out great! I like the matte finish a lot.
Very nice job on the guitar. Hope you enjoyed the show.
Sweet build Jeff, best of luck at the show!
Thank you. I'm excited for the show.
That's elegant. Love it!
That’s a nice looking guitar. Nice to not see Fender and Gibson copies!
I use Watco Danish oil for oil finishing. It’s the same idea as Tru-Oil, being an oil/varnish blend, but you get three times more for the same price.
Great job!
Very very nice job ! Having finished a number or products w Tru-Oil I can vouch that after you kill the gloss , you can add luster with Conservators Wax (or any other wax product).😀
I like the deeper color of the wood before you steel wooled it. But I love the matte/satin finish much more than the gloss. Now if you could find a way to get the color with the matte, that would be cool. In either case they both look good.
I have some questions. When you made the neck, what was the thickness of the stock before you started working on it? For the headstock, how much did you take off? What is that body style? For your next build some measurements of some of the neck and body’s.
Ever think about tackling semi-hollow arch top? Something like an ES-339?
I've been thinking about trying one of those.
Tru-oil does not have that much of the yellowing effect that other oils do, which is great of a non-stain application.
Curious but why do people choose steel wool over scouring pads?
What Birdge did you use on the guitar?
