Hi , I hope this is an easy question to answer. I havent done much acoustic guitar re-finishing , but plenty of solid colour and lacquer resprays.

Apparently when staining a sanded back acoustic guitar body, to ensure that the new stain goes on evenly and does not come out blotchy, grain filler is applied first (eg Feast Watson Grain Filler), and then the stain over the top of that. After that, the clear coats.

With the Feast Watson product, I assume its oil based as the can refers to using turpentine to clean up, and to clearcoat after staining with varnish, which I understand is also thinned with turps.

As I want to clearcoat this guitar with a solvent based lacquer like nitrocellulose , what grain filler can be applied and stained with a Prooftint colour that will be compatible with solvent based lacquer ?

Thankyou for reading.
