Vultite Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm feeling like I want to draw with some sort of marker on my acoustic. I've searched and it seems like I should use a paint pen and seal it. Paint pens are easy to come by, but I'm not sure what sealer to use. I assume I must use some sort of spray can for the best finish. The thing is that I also don't want to ruin my guitar. How can I test this without using the guitar? What surface is ideal to test on?

What type of wood are you planning to draw on? Soundboard/back/sides/neck/fretboard??? Is the wood bare and unsealed right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultite Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) What type of wood are you planning to draw on? Soundboard/back/sides/neck/fretboard??? Is the wood bare and unsealed right now? The guitar is a standard, well taken care of washburn acoustic. I was thinking of writing on the top or maybe on the back, not on the pick guard.

Is a Washburn standard Sitka top and Mahogany back (or maybe East indian RW?)? I am assuming by well taken care of it still has its original finish in tact? My gut says leave it alone.....
