Hi All,
I have an Alder Strat body coming soon and I plan on finishing the guitar in opaque white acrylic lacquer.
My plan at this point is to fill with a water based grain filler, seal with Bullseye Shellac, primer, color, then clear.
I have read Alder doesn’t need filler. My test pieces show very small grain depressions. I didn’t fill or seal the test subjects, because I was focusing on the ghost pearl I am applying over the white.
I guess my main question is, will shellac adequately fill the grain? Or, should I fill and then shellac?
