Javi Campos. French Polish Explained. Granada Traditional Guitar Varnisher Interview.
2,070
Published 2024-05-16
Javier Campos has varnished thousands of guitars during his career using the traditional French Polish system. Undoubtedly one of the most experienced and important shellac varnishers in the world today.
We are lucky that he has agreed to Madera to do an interview with him at his workshop where he explains his important varnishing work in the process of building a traditional guitar.
He gives us all kinds of clues here to appreciate what a well-made, hand-applied French polish with natural materials (not synthetic) is all about from the beginning of the process to the end.

Genial Javi Campos! Pero mis dudas desde que comenzó este canal: - Se llama Madera Guitarras y todos los textos que aparecen en los videos están en inglés 🙄 - Las introducciones y las preguntas siempre en inglés aunque el entrevistado sea andaluz...😅 Mi no entender, pero a pesar de todo buen trabajo!!

Gomalaca is in fact not the resin from a tree ,it is produced by the Lac beetles which feed on the resin,they subsequently lay their eggs and encase the eggs with excretion which when dry produces the flakes which are they collected and processed to produce the gomalaca flakes.

Sorprendente . Desde el año 93 este señor vive de barnizar guitarras. Mis saludos y mis respetos. Por lo demás, cuenta poco, pero al menos, en castellano.
