jtripo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 There may be a thread on this so I apologize if so. I have not been able to find out what kind on paint or stain is used on the a LPJ 2013 I have the white. If anyone know this or know where I can get this information I would appreciate it. Thanks for any help, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hello Jeff and welcome to the Forums! Gibson uses nitro-cellulose exclusively on it's guitars. As far as the brands of the finishing materials are concerned, they are not public. Rumours say they are using Valspar nitro-cellulose lacquer. Best wishes...

The clear-coated Gold Top models are featuring a transparent nitro finish on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hello Capmaster! I meant that the lacquer used by Gibson is nitro-cellulose exclusively. No other kind of lacquer is used (poly-urethane, etc.). Regardless it's a solid colour, or a transparent top-coat of natural, or translucent guitars. Excuse me, if I wasn't clear enough. The stains again, who knows what brand they are. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bence Tow pals of mine own each one satin 1960s Tribute Gold Top LP with something different from nitro on the tops.
