StewMac Colortone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer Spray, Heritage Red Gibson-Inspired Classic Translucent Color

Transform your guitar with StewMac's ColorTone Aerosol Guitar Lacquer in Heritage Cherry, a translucent finish that captures the iconic look of vintage 1950s and 60s guitars. This classic color, famously used on legendary Gibson SG and Les Paul models, creates rich, deep tones that interact beautifully with mahogany and dark woods. The lacquer requires proper application in a clean environment at 70-75°F, sprayed from 12-14 inches away using alternating horizontal and vertical patterns. For optimal results, apply multiple coats with 24-hour drying intervals between applications, and sand between coats to achieve a flawless finish. The Heritage Cherry shade varies subtly based on the wood grain, contributing to a distinctive, authentic appearance that guitar enthusiasts will appreciate. This lacquer can be applied to bare wood, ColorTone fillers, sealers, or stains, making it versatile for various guitar finishing projects.
