The break at 10:30 is just so opportune....if I can I would give 2, 3, 4 and even more likes! Pls keep uploading as ur channel is so interesting and informative
It's a small thing but matters so much. I wet sanded my guitar and some water got into the holes and cracked the nitro around holes. Later touched the cracks with butal thinner and remelted them. The wax in the hole we serve me well on the next guitar. Thank you so much.Dert Magert Here.
Great timing and well needed. I just finished spraying my basswood tele body with 3 cans of rust-oleum clear gloss over the last 5 days. I'll leave it for a few now to cure but I was just about to look up 'how to sand/polish a guitar' and saw this. Answers my questions. Many thanks.
Well you mentioned a burn through when sanding.... I've done that before. The smaller sanding block seems to be the better way to go. Great demo Patrick. Love the butterscotch finish.
Thanks Sal, I've done it more than a time or two but it's usually around the edges but I feel the smaller block helps. I think the butterscotch finish is a great match to the original blackguards, as much as it can be. I have another Tele that needs a refinish and I'll be using this paint on it :)
@@Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams stewart-mcdonald has a pure black bakelite pickguard for tele's and Esquires. With a butterscotch body, that would look killer.
Thank you! After I completed spraying my fourth can of clear coat lacquer on my Tele body, I was worried that I am still seeing some grain, even though I used grain filler, as well. Your video put me at ease, however, and I will also use a smaller sanding block. I think I need to invest in a nice orbital polisher, as well. Thanks again. Cheers!
Glad you found it useful, for another method have a look at this video... ua-cam.com/video/9ddiCmLYPBI/v-deo.html might be another option to consider. Cheers, Patrick
I spend as little time as humanly possible on the roundovers and try to keep away from the edges until I have to. I also make an effort to put a bit of extra material on when them when I'm spraying just in case. But you are right, you can sand through very easily.
Great tutorial, thank you. Treat yourself to another brew 😀
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
The attention to detail stuns me every time. Were you listening to Gimme Shelter on repeat for hours on end to get in the mood? Haha.
Cheers mate, I had the time to listen to a lot of stuff lol!!

Thank you Emann, that's very kind. There are plenty more videos to come.

I've never had a problem since I started doing this so it seems to work. I hope it's as useful for you :)
Very good job ❤🎸🎵
Thank you for sharing your experience and making this look a lot less hard and scary than it really is!
That’s a perfect thinskin look, fantastic job!
Thanks Bryan, I'm hoping it will age nicely and take on a bit of character :)
That guitar is so beautiful, nice job
Thank you very much, glad you like it :)

Good luck with the polishing, I'm glad it was helpful :)

Thanks for the video, I must say the body turned out great.
Thanks Robert, I'm really happy with it :)

Could you tell me the name of the polishing compound once again.
Hi Jesse, it's Farecla G3 compound.
Do you spend much time at all, if any, on the roundovers? They stress me out totally when levelling a finish.
I spend as little time as humanly possible on the roundovers and try to keep away from the edges until I have to. I also make an effort to put a bit of extra material on when them when I'm spraying just in case. But you are right, you can sand through very easily.
