Our Finishes
Beyond Sound: The Art of Touch and Texture
At Jiyu, the finish is not just a detail — it’s the final signature that shapes how your guitar feels, breathes, and ages.
Each finish is applied by hand with care, using only top-grade oils, lacquers, or polyurethanes, depending on the model and your preferences. We combine technical precision with aesthetic freedom.
Textured
Rough, raw, and full of character — this finish reveals the soul of the wood. Inspired by aged metal and industrial surfaces, it leaves the pores open and embraces imperfections. Layered with pigments, each piece feels like a relic from the future.
Natural
Minimal. Organic. Honest. This ultra-thin matte finish reveals the grain and lets the wood age naturally over time. It feels dry and fast, almost like bare wood — perfect for players who want nothing between them and their instrument.
Gloss
Timeless. This deep, mirror-like finish amplifies the grain and creates rich reflections. It’s the most sculpted and luxurious option — for those who want their instrument to shine under stage lights and in close-ups.
Paint with mate varnish
Subtle, modern, and sleek. This finish features solid-color paint covered by a matte top coat, creating a soft-touch surface with zero glare. It’s clean, understated, and designed for those who prefer bold shapes with a stealthy look.
