In our <a href=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/en\/blog\/nitro-finish-is-it-the-best-option-to-varnish-a-guitar\/\">last article<\/a> we explained in detail the difference between polyurethane and nitrocellulose varnished guitars, as well as how the type of varnish used on the guitar affects the sound. If you haven&#8217;t read it I recommend you to do it before starting this one.<\/p>\n<p>Once we complete the tutorial below, the body of the guitar will be as good as new, ready to start varnishing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-62851\" src=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"remove varnish from guitar\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2996-2-1000x750.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><strong>What type of product does my guitar come varnished with?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To identify this you just need to know the origin, that is, where your guitar comes from.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all guitars that come from industrial factories are varnished in polyester or polyurethane, except for the highest range models, which are usually varnished in nitro.<\/p>\n<p>High-end guitars that are built by luthiers or craftsmen, which you should always ask them before or after you buy it, are also nitro varnished.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is it important to know the type of varnish your guitar is made in?<\/strong> These different types of finish are totally different and the process we will use to remove the varnish from the wood will depend on it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to remove the polyester or polyurethane varnish from the guitar?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This will be a laborious job, which requires a certain order and following the explained steps to do it correctly.

We will also need a <strong>spatula<\/strong> with a thin, sharp blade. The thicker it is the more difficult it will be to introduce under the layer of varnish.<\/p>\n<p>We start by applying heat to a specific area of the guitar for a couple of minutes. When we have heated that area sufficiently, we introduce the spatula trying to remove the first polyurethane sheet. Once this first one is removed, the rest will be easier to remove.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> do not use excessive force and remove the first layer gently, <strong>so as not to damage the wood<\/strong>. In case during the process the wood is scratched with the spatula, it will not be a problem since this will be corrected by sanding, at the end of the whole process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3 &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Remove the primer coat<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-62847\" src=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"stripe primer coat \" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_2978-3-1000x750.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is possible that during the previous step this layer has already been lifted in some parts.

However, if the undercoat does not come off together, we will wait to remove the entire finish and repeat the process with this last layer.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen in the attached video, both layers come off easily if we remove them just after applying heat to their area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> It is advisable not to do this whole process non-stop, as the inside of the guitar will get very hot, and we don&#8217;t want to risk damaging this. This process can be done in one day, but separated in 3 or 4 phases, to make sure that the guitar does not suffer any damage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4 &#8211; Sand the guitar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-62855\" src=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"guitar sanding\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-1536x867.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1-1000x564.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/nitorlack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lijado-1-1.jpg 1886w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To finish this process and leave the wood ready to start varnishing again, we must use 2 sandpapers of 240 and 400 grain<\/p>\n<p>First we will sand with 240 sandpaper in order to <strong>eliminate<\/strong> the remains of varnish, as well as to <strong>level the wood<\/strong> if it has suffered any scratches during the process.
