Many very old guitars with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish show signs of checking or crackling with time. Changes in temperature are usually the cause. I finished a DIY telecaster body in shell pink nitro a few years back. I've been happy with the natural wear the guitar has received, but I wanted to see if I could accelerate the checking myself. So I experiment with a few methods here in this video.

Time Stamps:

0:00 - Project Introduction
2:20 - 'Before' state of the finish
4:30 - Good examples of vintage checking
5:01 - Outdoor cold method
5:39 - Deglossing the neck
6:47 - Results of the outdoor method
8:28 - Compressed Air can upside down method
10:15 - Results of the compressed air method
10:38 - Tone test
12:25 - Conclusion
