Wish I knew about this video much sooner. ):
If you hadn’t showed your subscriber count, I never would’ve believe it. You are incredibly helpful and your videos are edited very well. I’m now officially subscribed. Thank you very much for doing what you do!
This method is as ridiculous as his accent
Hi mate! Why do ESP guitars' black matte finishes look both deep and “leathery” at the same time?
I don't mean to be a jerk but doesn't it look a lot like Fender's Meteora?
Job well done! love it!
Hey man what a great video! I shall be using these tips on my jazzmaster! Just a quick question at the end of the video when you said if you want a smoother finish sand it gently and respray again and again, I take it you mean gently sand and spray another coat of the clear coat. Also how hard wearing is the clear coat?
@@MichaelGroscop yeah exactly, an other coat of clear coat! 2k clear is used in automotive industry, so it’s really really solid 🙂
I like your suffer and result a lot!
@@ivanlitvinov9917 ahah thanks
Was this inspired by rivers cuomos guitar? They look very similar
Salut ! Super video. Merci !!! Une petite question technique : - votre sticker pour la tète de guitare, vous l'avez fait comment ? maison ? imprimante sur feuille spéciale ?
@@doxbizy salut ! Oui sur une feuille décalco exprès. Cherche « Waterslide decal » tu trouveras pleins de tutos, notamment sur la chaîne de Vincent Brun
Vous devriez ajouter les liens des pièces que vous avez utilisez.
Great video! Also, never thought the shaper machine could do such small detailed work. Only seen it used on larger applications. Definitely worth looking at it again. Thanks for sharing your process and awesome finished product 🔥🔥🔥
I love the look of a natural wood headstock but this pale blue actually works. Nice work. Id recommend a satin or matte clear to protect the paint though
Your sander will be cute when it grows up. Lol
Great video man! Watched it from start to end and I'm not even repainting A guitar atm. Just interested,,
i wish i saw this before i paint my guitar
Looks awesome,just wondering how's the paint holding up now? No peeling, flaking or chipping?
Thanks! No problem on it, it's still the same
What do you guys think about using heat to scratch the paint as in this video? ua-cam.com/video/xDTW0RX-n-A/v-deo.html
@@Luth-t3e It’s a long and tedious task but it works. For simplicity I would paint over the original painting, but hey, in the end, everyone does as they please!
hey man, great videos, i watched a few in a row :)
@@alojz300 thanks a lot buddy!
great video
The paint job looks like crap.
Put an emg 81x in it and route it for a floyd rose
My name is a Michelangelo. English i not first languages. I a just wanted to a say. Very nice. Very sexy.
Hey how did you make that plastic painting space?
Hello, with PVC pipes
Super vidéo :) Switching to english because my question might be useful for someone else: have you tried the Nitrolack spray cans or other "guitar paint" spray cans bands ? Do you think it's possible to use your methods with those ? Only reason I ask is because they're supposed to have the "real" Fender colors that I like haha Thanks !
Hello, merci ! Yes, in the next video ;)
I had a graffiti yellow Fender Toronado that i sold about 20 years ago. Still kicking myself.
This is very romantic video, i like the struggle you went through with this project, while most videos show professional polished results this one filled with love discipline and passion, very interesting to watch, btw putting a fly into a gel is a cool idea, i might burry one into my guitar xD
Gotta say, that looks great.
Salut Edouard! Je mets mon commentaire en français pour faire plus simple. Merci pour ces astuces. J'aurais une question concernant les pickguard. J'en ai acheté un blanc pour ma telecaster que j'aimerais peindre en bleu ciel. C'est un pickguard en plastique. Je compte faire les étapes dont tu parles dans la vidéo mais pour la finition clear coat, je ne sais pas si c'est une bonne chose de mettre une finition mat car comme c'est un endroit ou le mediator (plectre de son petit nom français apparemment) va constamment glisser dessus, je me demande si ce ne serait pas contre productif. Et en même temps, je préfèrerais une finition mat sur mon pickguard pour contraster avec la couleur blanche brillante du corps de la guitare. Qu'en penses-tu?
En effet, tu peux avoir un risque que la peinture et le vernis se décroche si tu grattes trop fort dessus. Mais ce risque existe peu importe que ce soit une finition matte ou brillante, donc je pense que tu peux tenter le coup. Juste assure toi de bien poncer la pickguard avant de faire quoi que ce soit. Ensuite, comme c'est du plastique, je te conseille d'ajouter un apprêt spéciale plastique. À ce moment là tu pourras enfin peindre en bleu, puis vernir avec un vernis bi-composant 2K (important pour être certain d'avoir une bonne resistance !). Dernier conseil, un pickguard c'est souple mais le vernis bi-composant est dur, donc évite au maximum de plier ou de courber le pickguard, tu provoquerais des craquelures ! Bon courage, hésite pas à m'envoyer une photo sur mon Insta, je serai curieux de voir le résultat 🙂
@@FrenchGuitarGuy Merci beaucoup de la réponse rapide! Super je vais prendre tous tes conseils en compte! Pour la photo, malheureusement je n'ai pas instagram mais je vais essayer ☺️
This video is so good ! I though you had 500,000 subscribers I subbed!
Thanks! That would be great ahah
Subscribed! Thanks for making this, got a free unloved guitar that was pretty banged up, i am planning to try to learn and if i reach a good milestone with my learning, i totally plan on re-painting the guitar to celebrate :)
hello, I also have such a guitar model 2003, I want to ask you if there is a change in the sound after painting it, someone says that the sound changes and I am thinking of painting mine, thanks?
Hello ! No, there's no change. Paint can't change the sound of an electric guitar when you're plugged in. It's 99% the pickups that capture the sound for your amp :) It can change a little little bit when you're unplugged, but it so little...
Love this! I picked up a Warmoth baritone neck for cheap and am gonna pop it on my Toronado body. I got a short scale conversion neck originally, but couldn’t get the intonation right. Wish me luck. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Yeah awesome, good luck! I hope your new neck will work with the 24.75 scale length of the Toronado! If not, you can contact me, I can make you the same as the one in the video
Finally, a demo of the Hotrail with rhythm guitar!!!!
Already got my ticket, having a jazzmaster has been a dream for a while, and this one is just ✨
Super informative! Just subbed. Cheers from Portland!
Hey man, awesome video I’m going to try out a few of your tips! I also wanted to let ya know that your audio and video isn’t synced up, it’s a tad distracting
