ibanez_crazy Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Now that the hoildays are over, I was looking to purchase some info about finishing. Stew Mac has the 2nd edition of the guitar finishing book for 30, or the 2 spraying videos for 45. Im looking for some feedback on either or both...opinions please? As per Drak's suggestion, I already bought Bob Flexner's book on wood finishing, which is why I was leaning toward the videos....this way I can actually see proper spraying techniques, and what not.

ryanb Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I have both and they both are good. I'd say get both -- but if you are on a budget go for the videos first. IMO, seeing someone actually do it is more informative than reading about it. They are not advanced videos, but good information. The book is particularly good if you are trying to match vintage finishes -- they have a lot of recepies. It also has good color and mixing charts if you are using StewMac dyes/pigments.

ibanez_crazy Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Like you, I thought I would be better off seeing it done than reading about it, but I do have plans on picking both up eventually. Not doing any restorations any time soon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
