Buffing a Satin Finish to a Gloss

I bought an Epiphone Masterbilt AJ500R acoustic guitar a few months back and just love the guitar, but the satin finish created a bit of a swooshing sound against my clothing, and I just new that it would look so much better with a gloss finish. I found that with some GS27 Scratch Remover from the auto store, a cotton t-shirt, and some elbow grease, I was able to make the guitar look like a whole new instrument. Here's a before and after shot of her...

Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
