Product Review

Behlen Guitar Toners are used to add controllable, even color to your guitar. Made from fade resistant dyes, they apply transparent color so the beauty of the wood shows through, yet they are strong enough that a few coats will create pleasing, even color. Encore Brown is used to create a sunburst or starburst effect, or to tone the sides of an acoustic guitar darker. Often it is used at the edge, while Starcast Amber (#44984, sold separately) is sprayed over the Encore Brown, but in a wider pattern, to create a two-toned starburst. Typically, Vinyl Sealer (#48345, sold separately) is applied before the toners, and Stringed Instrument Lacquer (#48954, sold separately) is applied after the toners to create a professional finish. Also available from Rockler, the Behlen Sunburst Guitar Finish Kit.
