Re: Anybody know

i'd like to know too.

Worst case scenario-you'd have to buy an unfinished body and oil it down yourself.

Re: Anybody know

Well, I want to do a custom thing on it, but I really dont feel like sanding and filling and priming and all that at first. I just wanna get down to the custom design. So c'mon guys, chip in!

Hey guys....The only place that I know of that still uses nitro for bodies is this place.

They aren't cheap, but I'm sure there are some others out there that still spray nitro.

Re: Anybody know

No problem bro. Like I said though, he is pretty pricey so I would look a little more into. He's just the only one I know of off the top of my head that does it.

I'm not positive, but you might want to check B Heffner guitars as well.

Believe it or not, when I refinished my beater strat, I slapped some excellent gold paint on it, the sealed it with some nitro laquer that I bought at Lowes.

Hmmmm. $369 Minus $169 for the body= $200 for a beat up half A$$ Nitro finish. I guess you get what you pay for. :laugh2:

Scott, I've done many a refinish with a rattlecan from Home Depot. In fact, Slink's guitar was finished that way. I would just go out and get a cheap ass poly finished strat, but the design I'm gonna do is gonna be in nitro. I dont want the design to relic in a few years and the poly still all shiny.

Re: Anybody know

Isn't nitro just the clear coat over the dyed wood?
