Review: Not for instruments - Changing the wood color to very weird color. I don't recommend it at all for guitar marketing! Review: Works Great! - In the 34 years I've been doing woodwork, this is the first time I've used water-based grain filler, and I'm glad to report that this product works great. I have used the oil-based stuff for years to create piano finishes, and while it does an excellent job, it is seriously messy. This stuff reminds me of the old glue paste I used it primary school. It goes on easy, and it washes off with water. There are two things to keep in mind. The first is that you have to understand build coats. Don't expect this stuff to fill in 1 coat. You'll need to apply 3-4 coats, depending on the porosity of the wood, to completely fill the grain. Between coats, use 150 or 180 grit, but only sand it lightly...just enough to give the next coat something to "bite" into. After you get to coat number 3 or 4, let it dry overnight (about 6-8 hours). Come back and sand starting with 120-150 grit to level out the surface. Block sand only! Don't bare hand sand it nor power sand it. Sand until all the shiny spots are gone and the surface is completely flat. Once you get it flat, graduate to 180, then 220, then 320, and then 400 or 600, removing any scratches from the previous coat. Once you get to 400 or 600 and all the scratches from the previous grits are gone, top coat it, and you'll have a mirror finish. The other thing is, DON'T PILE IT ALL ON IN ONE HEAVY COAT. It will crack and ruin all the coats. At that point you'll have the arduous task of removing all of it and starting over. Don't ask me how I know. Lol I hope this helps someone out.
