Finish question

We are fortunate to count Paul Gagon as a member here, so it seemed natural to give him a home to stretch out in and relax a little. Maybe exercise the grey matter and present a little history of the guitar and bass (amps too!) from his perspective as one of the eminent designers of our time.

Got questions? Great! Good questions might be, "What are the EQ mappings for the M Series preamps?" Or, "What was the thought process behind the MJ-4?" Troubleshooting questions should remain in the regular forums (he reads those too). Finally, please be mindful of how I feel about tech questions via PM or email.

Finish question

Hi Paul, not an electrical question but figured you would know the answer: what is the standard clear finish applied over natural, sunburst, etc ie non-painted bodies?
thanks
Jim

The standard clearcoat is a polyurethane or polyester. Nitrocellulose lacquer is occasionally used on special editions.
