ihocky2 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I hang vertical when I can because that's what I have the most room for and it the easiest to hang. I've tried spraying bursts like that and find it hard to do though. I made a craddle to hold it by the neck and a screw where the strap button goes, but that has problems with painted necks. I'm trying to figure out a better horizontal system but have not gotten there yet. I'm going to build a spray booth soon and don't want it 6' tall to be able to hang a guitar, so I need to come up with something to work horizontally. I can get almost flat finishes hanging vertically so you can get very good finishes vertically, it just take time to work out your spray settings to get it just right.

FireFly Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I was going to mention the strap pin/tuning peg hole hanger idea. +1 to RestorationAD's jig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
