Pushead Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I've been working on this flying V project, and looking for ideas. Well I wanted to finish it natural like that explorer, but the wood won't allow for that ('tis ugly). So as I was doing laundry today I noticed I have two pairs of jeans with holes in places where holes shouldn't be. As I was throwing them out, the though occured to me, why not finish the V in denim. I know Fender did a few Tellys in leather, and I remember reading somewhere (probably here) that those floral Jem guitars are actually a fabric. Does anyone have any thoughts/info on this? Would it be better to leave the denim untouched, or should I use an epoxy/clearcoat finish on it? I was worried about the denim getting dirty or stretched. Also, what about neck inlays for something like this. I'm still in the concept stages while I sand the guitar out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I was considering a material finish for my tele project, but was conserned about the dry-cleaning bill for when it got dirty I don't know if a person could put a clear finish on it and make it work out? Mabey on denim? I don't think using it for neck inlays would work, but if it would that would be very cool Anyways i'm interested in this too.

Pushead Posted March 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Heh, I didn't mean denim inlays, I meant inlays that would work for a denim guitar. I was also thinking of putting a pocket on it for picks and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pockets would be cool, just but a back pocket right on the front and reach in and pull a pick out That wold help me a lot (My ratio: 3 droped picks/1 song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulNeeds Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 There's a tutorial on here about material finishes here on project guitar. As I read it, it's glued on, and then a normal finish applied over the top. How about brass studs for dot inlays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
