Review: StewMac watch out - My desertcart Review - The Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer, Clear Gloss (M610-1406) is an outstanding product that delivers a superior finish at a more affordable price than other top-tier lacquers. It provides a deep, glossy shine that enhances the natural beauty of your guitar while offering exceptional protection. The nitrocellulose formula allows the wood to breathe, improving the instrument’s resonance and tonal qualities. What really stands out about this lacquer is the quality-to-price ratio. It offers professional-level performance—comparable or even better than much pricier finishes. Application is smooth, it dries quickly, and the resulting finish is hard and durable, making it perfect for both new builds and refinishing projects. Pros: Superior quality finish with a clear, glossy shine Quick drying and easy to apply Provides a durable, protective coat that enhances the guitar's tone Perfect for refinishing or building guitars and instruments Cons: Strong odor – Use in a well-ventilated area or with a respirator Final Verdict: If you're looking for a top-tier lacquer, the Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer is the clear winner. It provides an amazing finish that rivals the best in the industry, and it’s a fantastic option for anyone serious about their guitar refinishing or building projects. Highly recommended! Its sad to say that this lacquer double in price within a year I guess leaving positive reviews can backfire. Review: Good instrument lacquer - Pretty standard nitro lacquer. Sprays well. Takes pigments nicely. Hard finish. UPDATE: 6/19/26: Please be aware that whoever is packaging these cans for shipping is apparently not doing a good job. I needed some recently so I ordered two quarts. I followed the shipping till it hung up about half way between me and the shipping point. It sat there for 5 days. Then finally shipped to my town. I excitedly checked to see if it was going to be delivered soon when I received a message that they were destroyed during shipping and were discarded and a refund order was sent to me. I got the refund in a couple days. Okay. Not to worry. I ordered two more quarts and they shipped right away. I followed tracking till they got to my town and again, received a notice they were destroyed during shipping and were discarded and a refund order was issued. I understand that accidents happen but two times in a row seems a little less than trustworthy. (They both shipped through UPS). Thinking perhaps UPS was not handling them correctly I ordered two quarts from Stewmac's desertcart store. I got them in perfect condition in 4 days. Just beware. They may not arrive as you'd hoped. The products is pretty good. The packaging-not so much. ## Features - Its unique formula provides excellent flow, flexibility and durability, a great wood sealer for your DIY projects - This clear coat for wood has superior rubbing qualities that yield a mirror-like reflectance, providing a lustrous shine - Use this clear lacquer coat, gloss finish to seal guitar paint or stain on an electric guitar, acoustic guitar, violin, cello or other stringed instrument - Simply apply four to five layers of topcoat, allow to air-dry for two to three days, then wet sand ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PG9Z64V | | Best Sellers Rank | #102,583 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #92 in Household Polyurethanes, Shellac & Varnish | | Brand | Mohawk Finishing Products | | Brand Name | Mohawk Finishing Products | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Coverage | 23 sq. ft./quart | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 381 Reviews | | Finish Type | Gloss | | Finish Types | Gloss | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Liquid Volume | 1 Quarts | | Manufacturer | Mohawk Finishing Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | M610-1406 | | Material | Lacquer | | Material Type | Lacquer | | Model Number | m610-1406 | | UPC | 663392023806 | | Unit Count | 32 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mohawk Finishing Products - **Finish Type:** Gloss - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Liquid Volume:** 1 Quarts - **Material:** Lacquer ## Images ![Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer, Clear Gloss, M610-1406, 1 Quart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SQMqF99LL.jpg) ![Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer, Clear Gloss, M610-1406, 1 Quart - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oN7Zii4oL.jpg) ![Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer, Clear Gloss, M610-1406, 1 Quart - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818pCYGO4QL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i brush this on or do i have to spray?** A: Add lacquer thinner for brushing. 3 parts lacquer, 1 part thinner, use quality natural bristle brush and watch videos on how to apply. It brushes just fine. Makes a great coffee table finish. **Q: Can I add a catalyzer to it for spraying and if so any suggestions?** A: If using a spray gun you dont need to thin it beyond what it comes in the can here, if your airbrushing it and need it thinner just use lacquer thinner, but with a hvlp gun its unnecessary **Q: Is there something special about the musical instrument formulation? Can this be used for a high quality desktop?** A: The instrument laquer formulation is made specifically to go on thin to an instrument becoming a durable finish that promotes good transmission of sound. In terms of finishing desktops it is an Old Fashioned Furniture finish that was used for many years but it's now fifty or so years out of date. That application it will prove to be soft and susceptible to scratches and wear. A better choice would be a high-quality modern urethane. It will give you the finish and type of wear characteristics that you need for your desk. **Q: What is the percentage of nitrocellulose solids by weight/volume? Need to determining if your sealer or this has higher nitrocellulose solids.** A: 13.29 by volume 18.91 by weight ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ StewMac watch out - My Amazon Review *by A***S on July 20, 2025* The Mohawk Classic Instrument Lacquer, Clear Gloss (M610-1406) is an outstanding product that delivers a superior finish at a more affordable price than other top-tier lacquers.
