I sanded the face of the headstock back to raw wood to remove the “Fender JAZZ BASS” decals. This returned the wood to its washed out and pale natural appearance. This was sanded back to 320 grit, then sanded again with wet and dry 800 to get it like glass. 3 coats applied, with a light sanding with wet and dry 800 in between, a new Fender Jazz Bass water slide applied and allowed to dry out completely, followed by another 3 coats of this nitrocellulose spray, with sanding in between. My headstock looks factory quality, and I am one heck of a picky person. The maple regains it’s warmer hue with multiple coats, and it matches the other factory finished maple details almost perfectly. Words of wisdom; go thinly with your coats, do not skip sanding with 800 wet and dry in between them, although I would skip sanding the first layer of nitro you apply after applying your water slide, just to be sure you don’t accidentally sand through the thin layer of lacquer and damage it 👍🏽 ## Frequently Bought Together - dartfords FS5000 Gloss Clear Nitrocellulose Guitar Lacquer - 400ml Aerosol - dartfords Clear Cellulose Sanding Sealer 400ml Aerosol - dartfords Jet Black Nitrocellulose Guitar Paint 400ml Aerosol --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/449848195-gloss-clear-nitrocellulose-guitar-lacquer-400ml-aerosol](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/449848195-gloss-clear-nitrocellulose-guitar-lacquer-400ml-aerosol) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
