Westone X390 Pantera CB - Tribute Guitar Build - High Gloss Guitar Finish - The Struggle is REAL!!

This is NOT a Tutorial... nor is it my favorite part of a Guitar build. Mistakes were made and overcome trying to do a high gloss rattle can guitar finish. In this video I go through my attempt(s) in doing a high gloss guitar finish using stains and rattle cans. I probably made every mistake in the book and had to start over several times and almost gave up and trashed the guitar. However, in the end I persevered and ended up with a very decent glossy finish and new found knowledge about finishing a guitar. Disclaimer: My frustration does show in the overall quality of this video, but I didn't want to hide it because problems and frustration are also a big part of guitar making. - The Rules Compounds I used: https://www.rupes.com/product/compoun...
