  • This is my new project, in which I finally decided to completely repaint the guitar. I chose not the simplest shape of the body, and the overall condition left much to be desired. It's a Norma, an old Japanese guitar from around the 60s (from the Teisco, Kawai, etc. family). The color I chose was something I've been wanting to use for a long time and I think it turned out to be a great match with this guitar. It was my first time doing a full refinish, so your feedback is very important to me 😊

      You pretty much need to clean as you go.
      If ya don't get rid of that all laquer you just scraped off, it'll get somewhere that you just finished scraping!
      Why do the same work, over & over?!
      Same with sawdust, filler, etc.
