Fender Stratocaster Nitro Refin - Sonic Blue

As described in the clip, this is a Japanese Fender Stratocaster that used to be coated in a tone robbing thick poly sunburst. The owner gave it to me stripped (took him three days to scrape it off) and I refinished it in nitrocellulose lacquer for MAXIMUM TONE!! Enjoy.

@lisannhodges67 Hi Tyler, no clearcoat - just wetsanding the color coat. The owner wanted a vintage/NOS/satin look and a thin finish.

@EVHGUITARS4LESS Wow!! Looks great. Nice shine, especially without clear, impressive actually! Ive never tried to wetsand the colorcoat itself before. Great looking finish! :)

@lisannhodges67 Thanks very much. My friend ordered the paint - it's actually a satin (semi gloss) finish. Full gloss with a clearcoat and wetsand would have come out like glass.

@DougFCKNSteele In brief: Mega smoothness. The water acts as a lubricant and also prevents the paper from clogging up and causing swirl marks.
