Hi All, Those of you who specialize (or do more often than not) french polish as you choice of finish, do you finish the nech just like the body? I mean french polish the neck also? Dave |

I abandoned FP on the neck playing surface in favor of Danish Oil. I've been satisfied so far after 2 years experience. |

TruOil on the neck........... much easier. Build up your finish; 5 - 6 coats, 0000 steel wool and wet sand w/ 1200; 5 - 6 coats and level again. Should be just fine by then..... You can then FP the headstock and backplate (if you have one.) |

If your intention is to FP the neck then yes the process is the same. I don't FP neck anymore. i finish all my neck anymore with medium viscosity Cyanoacrylate (super glue) it renders the slickest fastest neck finish I have found so far. Wears very well. polishes to a ulta high sheen or a satin sheen easily. i can have a neck finished, rubbed out and buffed out in 3-4 days ready to install |
