I have repaired a Gibson Les Paul Studio.
We did refinishing, side scalloping, fret polishing, and overall adjustment.
The most difficult part was the refinishing. This refinish was neither lacquer nor polyurethane.
It is shellac paint, which does not use a spray gun or compressor.
We painted with French polish, which is one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive methods.
However, to be precise, it is not a French polish finish paint, but a simple polished and polished? French polish.
At the work meeting stage, we were planning to polish only the top, and to use a thin shellac on the body back and other parts of the body, and finish with French polish.
During the process, we discussed with the customer and chose to polish.
You can see in the video how it is finished with French polish in the middle of the process. Polishing after finishing with French polish.
French polish is very difficult from the point of view of those who have experience in lacquer painting.
It looks like you are just twirling the pad while applying the polish, but to get a mirror finish, you need to know the density of the shellac, the amount of oil, the material of the pad, the drying time, and the repetition of polishing while applying the polish. In total, about 300 coats are applied, 6 hours a day for a week.
I dreamed that I was doing French polish, but in a failed state.
Flat boards and furniture without bumps are very easy to apply.
To be honest, I don't recommend applying shellac to anything other than body tops. The labor and cost are out of proportion.
However, I was fascinated by the unique film of Shellac French Polish.
I think it is because it is not a spray, so surface tension does not work, but the paint surface looks like it is stuck to the wooden surface of the body.
When I shine it in the light, guffaw! Gwah! Gwah! The paint film is called "Paint Film". It's hard to describe with a camera, so I'm not sure if it comes across...
I think this is the kind of surface that can be achieved because of the shellac French polish on the arch top. I think the price is high, but it is worth it.
When I see the finished product, I think I would like to do it again.
I will regret why I took such a request when I start working on it....
The highlight of this video is that I used masking tape instead of a scraper to express the binding in the staining of the body top material.
Perhaps.
Thank you for your request.

For masking tape, 3M is good. For high frets on guitars, 6mm is recommended.

Dremel 4000 rotor. Great torque, but hot! If you can, get a 4000 because it can do a lot of things.

I heard there is a new one called 4300. If you can use the base plate of a StuMac, this might work too.
