I had a few ideas for creative guitar finishes, so I crammed them all into one idea and tried my best to make it work. The results were in no way professional but I had a great time along the way. First I started by wrapping a cheap body in aluminum foil, then a few clear coats, paint pens and kandy sprays later I was done, IT'S SO EASY! (results may vary)

Wrapping the guitar in foil was pure genius, and looked awesome. I'm going to remember that. I also particular liked the gold Paisley prior to having more paint put on it. I didn't know you have Art skills. That was fun. Thanks
Yeah I agree with the the paisley comment. That looked pretty sharp.
Today on 60 Cycle Yum, join Chef Ryan as he preps and bakes us up a sweet "Ryan's Wrap" branded Re-Fin treat that is oh-so-tasty. 👍
lolol
You shouldn't have sanded the the foil! A good lesson on "if it isn't broken, don't fix it)!
"I feel entertained " is my favorite line. Most people enjoy watching others have fun, and that makes this odd video very interesting. Please keep up the oddball ideas for the fun of it. I think they will do well.
Let me get this straight: a guy, called "60 Cycle Hum", has shielded all parts of a guitar body EXCEPT the wiring cavities... ;-)
ok, ill let you.
@@60CycleHumcast In all seriousness, I have several guitars with an Aluminium Foil Tape base layer for the finish.
The theory is that, should I NOT like the results, I can peel off the tape rather than having to laboriously remove a finish. I've never disliked the results enough to peel one.
Some guitars, I just left foil-coated. It gets dull and worn in interesting patterns. If a bit gets ripped, I just stick more foil tape on...
@@60CycleHumcast Ryan, put 'GFS Gold Foil Single Coil Pickups,' in that guitar! It would tie the aluminum neck and purple foil Paisley body together perfectly! They're cheep and and GFS's website is having a sale right now!
The entire back of the guitar is covered in foil. How much more shielding do you think you need :)
@@Reginaldesq Joking aside, a thin layer of tinfoil - with a tenuous connection to ground - is no use as a shield. 《SCREWS TINFOIL HAT INTO A BALL AND THROWS IT AWAY. ;-)
I was so ready to hate this, and then you did it again. It looks super cool. I think I'd ditch the purple burst, and obviously a thick clear and sanding for that 'professional' shine. The drawn paisley was awesome.
for me the purple burst is the best part
I don’t know about the foil but that purple burst paisley is awesome. Never thought I’d like it but I really do. I’m wondering if wrapping it in foil will work like some super shielding or if it will effect the electronics at all?
Matt Shaw without being conductively connected to any other shielding or any of the electronics thanks to the paint covering it, it won’t have any impact on the electronics.
instablaster...
@@bufferkiller what is he had grounded the foil beforehand?
@@UnrestingSpirit Placebo effect, maybe. The shielding doesn’t encapsulate everything, so it doesn’t become a true faraday cage to cut out the hum. The grounding of the building you’re in, and other interference creating devices has more impact. A soldering iron will cause insane buzzing, and you’ll hear a sound at home that you won’t hear at any shop you take it to for repair. The commercial grounding of the building will have you feeling crazy for not hearing at the shop what you know you’re hearing at home.
I still shield when a customer asks, because the placebo effect is no joke. Most still insist on copper too, because it blocks a few more frequencies than aluminum, even though they’re not frequencies a guitar is affected by. Plus everything above about it being security theater for a guitar.
What might be cool is the aluminum foil, and then over the top of that van-halenish stripes of aluminum HVAC tape.
The paisley you drew is amazing. Very cool.
Baguley is handing out $750 guitar necks now? I wish I could remember the brand but there’s a brand of foil that’s twice as thick as Reynolds and doesn’t wrinkle as much, very cool idea Ryan.
Ive watched this again and absolutely love how this came out! These are exactly the examples of why i dig this channel- hobbyist experiments with guitars, parts and imagination. Keep doing your thing Ryan. Sweet guitar finish and neck. Plus, that green marguerita strat is killer.!
Honestly I think it looks cool. The imperfections makes it gorgeous.
Just my 2 cents. I used to do candy paints on model cars. Silver base coat with any candy color is terrific. Gold base coat will give interesting changes. Candy apple red on gold is a lovely purple. And I loved your paisley work. My brother did a guitar in hydro-dipping for me. Fantastic result. Check out the possibilities.
I'm impressed With your ability to make something out of nothing. Great job on the Gold hand-drawn Paisley. Can't wait to see the next one.
This is going to be really cool in 10-20 years after a natural relic!
Also, I think this guitar needs some special pickup variation instead of just regular SSS. HSS or maybe even HSH, and then with some kind of weird pickups, like with the HSH you could put a lipstick style in there, or maybe one of those rail humbuckers in the middle with either HHS or HSH. Or if you do decide on SSS then one of those rails in the middle would be really cool as well!
Or maybe filtertrons? That would be amazing too.
Lipsticks or silver soap bars would be neat, or cold foils.
@@theothertonydutch Yeah, just something out of the ordinary would be cool.
Gold foil pickups would be the thing to go with.
Prince would have loved it!
Tight painting.
I really enjoy how you do what you like and not care if it's appealing to the masses.
Dude, from an artists perspective... that paisley looked way to easy for you! Great job. Lots of fun watching this one!
I’m an illustrator/graphic designer. So yeah. It was fun, lol.
60 Cycle Hum brilliant! Please do more crazy stuff like this. I’m not allowed to tattoo through covid restrictions here in Melbourne so things like this are literally keeping me going brother!
I think it looks great Ryan
You have a fantastically creative mind! By the time I finished watching, my face literally ached from smiling. You have ignited so many ideas. I`m off to my workshop now. Thank you Ryan. Cheers 🍷
Looks like a hippy got ahold of a buddy's guitar and psyched it up for him. I dig it! Reminds me of my early days!
Ryan, at first I thought that you had completely lost your mind, yet as you carried on with it, it was like reading a good book, I couldn't wait until you turned the page! First, I found myself asking if you were right or left-handed. Overall, this turned out to be a very exciting experiment! Thanks much for your insanity!
Nice job with the paisley for sure!
You're an Artist! It ended up looking far better than I thought it could! Well Done Sir!!
These videos of you creating are great, Ryan. Keep up the fun work.
Cool idea!
And i love that dipped guitar!
It's really 90s mutant
That foil wrapped stage reminded me of the Noodles Duct-tape sig Talman. Very cool.
I like it shiny with Foil right after first part.
love this experimental try out, Subbed for the creativity. keep it up!
Hey fellow-Lefty; that was some impressive, freehand paisley illustration...
I like the concept!
Great ideas, and fun, iLove the contrast of materials, alien textures X hi gloss plastic X Aluminium
a 100% new idea!!! one thing, besides the cool finish, this is the best shielded guitar I've ever seen...
Fun protect, looks great!
Beautiful artwork
looks really really cool.
I'd love to see you do a reverse burst! Like the "outline" is the lighter color, with it darker toward the center. I've always been curious to see a finish like that, but I never see anyone do it.
The was a great idea, love it
A-May-Zing! Google search "strat aluminum pickguard". That foil body and aluminum neck need an aluminum pickguard. They have them with all sorts of surface textures and etching. Gotta keep that theme going. Inspiring sir, Inspiring.
I actually love this one, wow.
Pretty cool ideas!
Tons of talent. The freehand paisley was beautiful.
i didn’t know you’re a leftie until i saw you hold the pen with your left hand. nice drawing by the way. have you ever tried to play guitars for lefties?
but i personally would love the whole silver look before you spray painted purple and pink on it. with a silver or gray pickguard board.
Strong stuff - I get the blues brothers reference
Excellent paisley work, and some really cool ideas!
You are very artistic!
I wrapped an old Japanese LP copy in foil, back in the late 80s, with a similar look (maybe slightly smoother) to yours, but I left it at that and didn't sand or paint it.
I tended to paint/wreck most of my guitars back then - my favourite being an SG shape that I painted the Band Big Black's album "Atomizer" on the front and "Songs About F***ing" on the back.
Cool idea and fun man!
Gold lipsticks, hum bridge, single neck, with a Dan Armstrong regular middle, with gold trem and tuners. If you going outlandish, go full out. That would sound amazing too. And I'm always a sucker for black pickguards, maybe a pearl? Or maybe black trem and tuners?
Enjoyed this!
Looks nice!
Very cool. If you had patched the part where the foil ripped it would look nicer, but as a proof of concept it’s a huge success.
Ryan man, this is absolutely sick. Those imperfections just make it look even better. Keep up the good work brother ✌🏻
Wow that’s awesome
Great touch with your pen. You are amazing with paisley, great job!
I loved watching this trainwreck! Prep work is everything, and putting a rough surface at the base destroyed all hope of a nice finish. Silver flake base would have made a much better body. But. Your paisely drawing was nice. Watching a few videos would have taught you about flash time and using the 2k finish.
This is so awsome. I have had the same idea for a bass. German Sandberg are doing it. I had a bass from them that had this metal finish and it looked awsome. So thanks for doing it so I could see how you did it ;-)
This looks really cool. I love the purple to pink burst.
Looks great plenty of character
Pretty impressive and creative. Dang, you can even draw Paisley's!
I've spent hours of unnecessary research on some forums in thread about finding perfect paisley pattern. Your video became a reminder that black and white over olive green paisley can be achieved using freaking Sharpie. Thanks a lot ❤️
def prefer this over the dip Glarry. The close up pics are more glaring then at a distance where I think this pink/purple paisley fetish looks pretty great.
the world needs more paisley guitars
I think I'd have just sanded it real good, ditched the foil (I don't get it), put down a good coat of white, and then carried on. The color combo is beautiful, dude, and your diy paisley is great.
I love these Arts n Crafts videos. It look nice.
Very cool! Not sure I could hand draw that…maybe find a stencil.
I appreciate your attitude and I love that your is so interested
Cheers!
The purple and gold foil pen looks good too. Especially without the burst
Love it. Needs a clear pickguard!
Lace alumitones on the Aluminum guitar, think they got special ones that would match the color scheme.
amazing project, and it turned out amazing!
Not gonna lie, I think that looks dope as hell. I think you should take the distressing just a bit further to be honest, with a little "distressed" pink anodizing on the back of the neck (like the do it at home cerakote cans), that'd look really really cool
Ryan, no joke that strat looks really bad ass. And it fits so well with the neck
Yes!!! I’ve been searching for a video like this. I want to replicate an EchoPark Clarence guitar.
Oh yeah im trying this, fearless modification is so refreshing to see Ryan.
Mini humbuckers sound awesome in a strat if you're looking for something different.
The Foil Idea is great I think. I have a Les paul jr. body that I plan to refinish and this fired me up for that. I don't know if the paisley works with that body shape but maybe I can do something slightly diff. Thanks Ryan, I'm on my way to home deport!
Beau travail !!!
Unbelievable... I had a band in high school named 60 Cycle Hum LMAO! Our guitarist's Dad said that's what it sounded like coming from the Garage. Thanks for an interesting demo.
it would be pretty cool, if you painted the Hb te90, give it some nice blue or something!
hmmmmmm, that might be a good idea.
Oh! I forgot something............... try craft glitter sometime if you haven't already. I did a scratch build 4 string bass with a POW/MIA/bald eagle (hand painted) overlayed on a waving american flag. The flag has craft glitter over the red/white/blue base colors with about 30 brush coats of polyacrylic.
Love it!!!!
That was so cool how you drew on the paisley! Badass man!
Looks good
I’m impressed! That looks really cool! I love the kandy and burst colors, and the hand-drawn gold paisleys (good job on those!) are a nice touch. Now-take a clear pickguard and paint it gold metallic on the underside; that’ll give you a similar look to a gold-anodized aluminum guard without having the gold wear off like it does on aluminum. Gold Lace Alumitone pickups will look great on that, and they sound good too. Gold hardware to bring the whole look together and it’ll be kool! The Lord Of The Bling!
I think you'd get a better result using silver paint as the first coat. Then candy burst with gold paisley. I think the foil will just flake off over time. Any bump would crack the paint because the foil will flex but the finish is brittle. Then the cracked paint will pull off the foil beneath it. Maybe use a metallic paint as the under coat and brush it on by hand, or dab the metallic spray paint with a plastic bag like those street artists who paint planets and galaxies with rattle cans and stencils.
You should do a grungy HH config. Think it would be cool with the cool colour combo and the distressed beat up looking parts with an aluminium neck.
Keep going with it! Looks rough and ready, and I've loved many a guitar that could be described thusly. While you're doing the GFS thing, I'd grab a set of their gold minihumbucker pickups, and roll that configuration. Think it'd be cool!
The neck manufacturer, pretty sure it's pronounced "Bag-lee" as there's an area of my city spelled the same way and that's how it is pronounced around here
For that thickness of clear coat needed, you could have laid it flat and poured polyurethane clear or epoxy etc over it.
That way you could have kept the original cool looking foil finish and not sanded the foil (which wrecked it). 🙂
That's a good shielding right there! The noiseless guitar by Ryan!
The whole process was cool, but as far as a great look goes, my humble opinion is that not sanding the foil, then stopping when the paisley''s were fresh with no purple. Clear coating over the paisleys would have made a killer looking guitar.
If you need an Idea for your next finish project have you heard of a cloth top finish? It's something I've seen done by Texas Toast guitars, but it's basically taking craft store fabric and gluing it to the body to give it a cool graphic print! (depending on the fabric you use) I think with a cool funky pattern and maybe a burst to help blend it in so you don't see a seam on it would be a super awesome look!! Loving all these finish projects btw!! Definitely giving me inspiration for some of my projects I've been sitting on
Or an SHS config with Tele switching for the singles and an on/off/bypass direct to the output jack switch for the humbucker
Fun pickguard trick...(non-pro tip).
At the craft store in the scrapbooking section, or thereabout, you'll find specialized paper. Some have cute little things on them, but others have sparkles, _gold_ sparkles, green sparkles etc... anything extra tacky that you can imagine. Wood grain, clouds, you get the idea.
1. Buy the design that you want on your poor, abused pickguard.
2.Take your kid's glue stick. The cheap one that goes on purple and dissolves in water.
3. Smear said abused pickguard with stolen glue stick and apply cheap, tacky, paper on the now purple slimed pickguard.
4.Trim with Exacto.
5. Show off your new cusomized, exceptionally tacky pickguard to friends and neighbors.
...and when you get bored with it. Just soak the ugly paper off the pickguard in warm water (hence the "liberated" from your kid, purple glue stick) . Dry it off. And repeat with another design.
Ryan, put 'GFS Gold Foil Single Coil Pickups,' in that guitar! It would tie the aluminum neck and purple foil Paisley body together perfectly! They're cheep and and GFS's website is having a sale right now!
i dunno if this setup works, but a P90-single coil-P90 would look really cool with this finish!
The concept sounded cool in the beginning, and I really like the result! I totally agree that you could have stopped at any of those steps and had a cool and unique finish. I'm excited to see this with pickups. I'm not sold on the black pickguard, but it totally works if you don't want to buy another.
Awesome idea I love it,it's turned out great 😁.
I'm the same really impatient so cut a lot of corners 😅.
I'm currently trying to finish my first ever guitar attempt that I started about 20 years ago ,tried multiple times to paint it but keep ruining it 😅,could be because it's pine.
I might do something like you could be fun 😀
Prince would have been a customer!
Who said guitars have to be perfect !!
Perfection is the arch enemy of fun
That is cool as sheeee$ !!
ryan you should invest in a spray gun! Harbor freight has (surprisingly nice) $10 guns and a gallong of precat lacquer is just pushing $30 if you go to a paint shop so you could get a super nice thick finish for way cheaper!
