Neck re finishing questions...

[Rolf G Riley]

Ok I need some pro advice. I just did THIS (http://www.vsplanet.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=035753) to my maple neck strat. What I need to know is exactly what lacquer to use on the refinish to match the origional which remains on the headstock and rear of the neck. This is a mexican classic 70's strat olympic white.

Also any ideas on how to hide the join between the old and the new laquer would help as well.

Many thanks. :)

have you checked out www.stewmac.com ? Not just supplies but lots of good info also. I have this (http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Books,_plans/Building_and_repair:_Guitar,_electric/Guitar_Player_Repair_Guide.html) book and it is brilliant !

StewMac will ship to the UK and I imagine you can find the book on amazon.co.uk

Thanks. yeah i have their catalogue.Thing is they cant ship flammable stuff outside of the USA. Also i still cant figure out exactly which lacquer was used origionally, so i cant match it all up.
