Joha Guitar Varnish – Oil or Spirit?
The Right Choice for Every Need

Joha offers two high-quality varnishes for guitar making: Guitar Oil Varnish and Spirit Guitar Varnish – developed for perfect surfaces and optimal tonal characteristics.

The oil varnish is especially user-friendly, dries slowly, and allows for easy corrections. It forms a durable surface, supports the instrument’s tone, and creates a natural, classic appearance – ideal even for beginners.

The spirit varnish dries quickly and delivers a brilliant, smooth finish with visual depth. It is best suited for experienced users who value precision and high gloss.

Whether traditional with spirit varnish or modern with oil varnish – Joha offers the right solution for every guitar finish.
