We stock a wide range of high-quality nitrocellulose lacquers and paints suitable for use on any guitar project.
We’ve produced a range of colours found on popular guitar models and used our own Strat and Tele bodies for reference. 

This is the same type of lacquer as used on vintage Fender and Gibson guitars which, over time, will produce an aged, tarnished look to your instrument. These are true lacquers, as used by top guitar makers since the 1950s. They dry very quickly and produce a hard glassy finish, unlike other “pre-cat” lacquers

These paints and lacquers are very easy to apply and generally require no sanding in between coats.

Use only in a well-ventilated area. Suitable breathing apparatus should be worn

To prime or not to prime

Obviously, you don't have to and can achieve good results with nothing but sanding sealer.
If you're going for a solid colour, though, priming is guaranteed to make your life a lot easier. For one thing, it will help get rid of imperfections to achieve a smooth finish. It's also extremely forgiving and any potential drips can be easily smoothed down with wet and dry paper which will, in the end, result in a quicker job
