  • I take a guitar body I built a while back and attempt to hydro dip it.

    In this video, I try my hand at hydro-dipping a few guitar bodies as well as get a new headstock logo designed through Fiverr. I may be decent at building guitars and making videos but I have very little graphic design ability so using Fiverr on a project like this makes life much simpler. Thanks again to Fiverr for sponsoring this video.

    I don't think I've ever seen someone double-dip the paint before. That really creates a nice "ghost flame" effect where it looks like the swirls are interacting, but remain distinct from each other. I've long been planning to do this with one of my guitars, and I may have to steal that idea...

      It gives it this crazy look of depth that's so cool!

      Yeah, when he said he was gonna double dip it, I was like... er, I'm pretty sure you're about to regret that.
      But, then it came out looking amazing. I did not expect the layered, deep look. Really looks fantastic.

    Could always make a small metal pickguard to cover the mistake. Looks great

      I was about to write the same comment. Also, a pickguard would nicely help to bring the 2 dips together.

    Just a tip!Before masking,make shure the paint had already cure (dryed for more then 17hours) and before applying the masking tape,stick it first on your t-shirt or pants,this will add cotton fibers to the tape and make the glue weaker,that way it wont stick to much to the paint avoid this type of situations ;)
    Nice video man,and it ended looking pretty good!

    This is awesome! I’m about to buy my daughter’s first guitar and we decided to get a kit so we could build it together. We’ve been talking about colors and design, and I wanted to do something special for it. I think this method would be perfect! Thank you for the inspiration!

    The matching headstock really works well… Fender Japan did an Japanese artists model with a painted white maple fretboard and neck (it was like a ghost guitar)… so it could be possible to do the entire guitar as a hydro-dip

    My favourite part of your vids is when you play the guitar at the end and this guitar is probably one of my favorites, the colors look so beautiful together and it looks really unique with the two layers of the hydro dip and that song you played at the end was even more beautiful. 😁❤️

    Thank you for showing how to properly dip a guitar instead of the usual spraying paint into water with an aerosol can. After knowing about this method for quite a while and being in commercial art for over 30 years plus working at Gibson guitar in Nashville, this whole thing about hydro dipping drove me crazy when I saw people starting to use the spray paint instead of actually dripping or pouring paint into the water. If anybody tries one versus the other it's a world of difference when you do it properly. Keep up the wonderful work. Thank you!

  • @MoreMushroomThanMan
