Shellac is used in the process already on your Bass to seal the wood before the varnish is applied and after it has been oiled several coats. The catalyzed Lacquer is very time consuming and not offered except on the Elite models. The rub outs are 100% by hand and we charge by the hour. Actually, it is cheaper to buy the more expensive models than buy low lower and pay for upgrades. This should be something one asks before the purchase is made.
