Product Description

Archtop builder Tom Ribbecke is a happy convert to Cardinal lacquer, saying that compared to the 'old standby' it "creates a thinner final coat, burns in better, and buffs well". He only uses 5-10% thinner in his application.

Unlike other musical instrument lacquers, Luthierlac sinks back quickly and can be buffed after only 7 days. The lacquer is pre-reduced by 10%, so it is ready to spray. It can be further reduced to your liking from 10-20% with the Cardinal lacquer thinner.

Cardinal is a family-owned company based in Los Angeles, CA since 1952. For 60 years Cardinal has manufactured coatings of various chemistries, including nitrocellulose lacquers. Over the last few years, they have worked closely with a select group of luthiers, studying the art of guitar finishing.
