Birchwood Casey – Tru-Oil Guitar Finish

Tru-Oil by Birchwood Casey is a trusted choice for guitar builders and repair techs seeking a natural-looking, durable finish. Originally formulated for gunstocks, it’s become a favorite in guitar workshops for its ease of application, quick drying time, and smooth, satin-to-gloss sheen.

For best results, prep your surface with 3M sandpaper, smooth between coats with 0000-grade steel wool, and remove dust before finishing with a Chestnut Tack Cloth. Whether you’re doing a full build or a neck refin, Tru-Oil delivers professional results without the need for spray equipment.

Perfect for finishing necks, bodies, and touch-ups—Tru-Oil enhances wood grain while providing long-lasting protection. A classic finish for modern and vintage guitars alike.
