In Season 2, Episode 9 of “The Process,” you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at our new spray booth facility in Bozeman, Montana, and be able to learn more about the differences between the four types of nitrocellulose application as part of the finishing process of Gibson Acoustic guitars.
One of the recurring themes throughout our history has been selecting acoustic production techniques that aren’t easy to execute but better serve the instrument. A prime example of this is our use of nitrocellulose lacquer. Over time, nitrocellulose lacquer absorbs and dissipates, allowing the guitar to vibrate and breathe. This gives it the freedom to create the rich tone our acoustics are renowned for, transforming them into heirloom pieces that improve with age.
Watch as we explain what happens to nitrocellulose lacquer on guitars over time and the tonal qualities that shine through after decades of use as they slowly become a family heirloom. Learn which Gibson Acoustic guitars have specific nitrocellulose lacquer application techniques and how they affect the sound, and get an insight into the benefits of nitrocellulose finish on acoustic guitars.
Learn which Gibson Acoustic guitars have nitrocellulose finishes, such as the Gibson G-Collection of acoustic guitars, which receive three coats of lacquer; the Gibson Faded collection with six coats; five of nitrocellulose and one final coat of satin; the Custom Historic Collection receives five coats, resulting in a period correct tonal change, and all Modern and Original guitars receive the full coat gloss finish with seven coats of lacquer. But, most importantly, learn why we apply these coats as we do.

I love my J45 from Montana, Sounds Blissful ❤

I’ve got two Epiphone guitars, and I definitely heard the difference when I heard a Gibson I played at a shop!
-
Thank you. Some day I'll get a Gibson G writer its what I can afford :)
-
I am going to be in Bozeman in June! Does the factory do tours by any chance? Thanks!
-
Thanks for this video. While I would never personally buy satin finish and I think that VOS is just a way to save costs and charge more I do appreciate the quality of the full gloss treatment. My Gibson acoustics are all older and have opened up over time as the lacquer outgassed. I like hearing the thoughts of the people who do the work but confess since execs started showing up in these videos I like them less. Mr Koehler comes across as insincere whereas the lacquer technician has real credibility

i need a job in Bozman

Eric Johnson has the same opinion on things nitrocellulose on his signature Stratocaster. Eric Johnson was the first person I heard promoting this idea. 10-20 years ago ? I don’t remember every sentence ever spoken…. What I do know is if you are in a high production industry, any little savings is a lot overall. God Bless Gibson and all us players to create something amazing 🎉

-
I love the interviews, information and seeing the build process. But the music is too loud. It kills me to say that because the picking is awesome. Please one at at time
-
If nitro is so great, why not make acoustic guitars with NO FINISH... Or maybe one really thin coat... Anyone know?
-
Answer is simple, it hardens as it ages. Something you can get with todays technology using a 2 part urethane, its hard in a week instead of a decade. The harder it is the more it rings, more resonant, 2 part clear with hardener works great. nitro lacquer is antique tech, but for some reason people cant get with the times and understand that.

It's Really Water Base type Laqure now day real Laquer Paint Has been Band by Osha for like 36 yrs now So don't be fooled 🎸
-
There are only 2 finishes for guitars, nitrocellulose and French polish. Anything other than those and you've lost a lot of the tone that was built into the instrument. I've been a luthier for 50 years by the way.
-
Gibson blowing smoke again Nitrocellulose finishes have no tonal advantages on solid body electric guitars and stop putting your goofy looking Gibson headstock on the legendary Epiphones
