I am also working on my first guitar and think i might be in over my head because today when i was wetsanding my guitar i sanded through one spot. I can't tell how thick my clear coat is and i can't tell when i have sanded enough? I can't get the guitar to dull and flat all in one area there are specks of shine in it. is that a problem or will is show up when i polish it? Just thought that you being a newbie you would be able to tell me what helped you with your guitar? steve

thanks i was wondering what that was. Is there any way to fix that while you are spraying or is it just something you have to deal with? I was also wondering about wetsanding. I have never done it before and i am sure that there is a tutorial on it but i was gonn ask since someone brought it up. Could someone help me. I don't know whether i should bare down hard and after i sand do i need to add another coat of clear? I appreciate the help Steve

Just wanted to thank everyone on guitar forum for all the help and questions with refinishing my first guitar. This is a picture of it while the final clear coat is drying. There is still much sanding and polishing to be done but i wanted to let everyone see how it is coming along. I got the idea from this comic book. Tell me what you guys think!! Steven Ps also let me know if there is anywhere in ga that i can learn hands on how to be a luthier.

thanks that was quick. I know this is a close up of what a put on it and because we have the most technologically advanced digital camera, I can't figure out how to turn of the damn flash. Any way this is a close up of what i put on the guitar

Hey I have been working on a guitar for about 3 weeks now and i wanted to post a picture of it on here. So everyone could see how my first guitar turned out. I plan on continuing to make guitars and would like to share my ideas. Where on projectguitar.com can i send my pics to be seen by other gutiar lovers? steve

I appreciate all the information> I didn't know if there was a set rate for certain graphics. No its not a decal I am airbrushing and fine detail painting. My dad is going to help me with the business license when i decide to start.. and with some of the financing and taxes. Because he is a small businesss owner as well. I was just looking at what a market average would be. Appreciate it

Hey i have an idea for a guitar... i was gonna paint some trippy looking stuff over a cream stratocaster. But I will be using acrylics and i would be brushing it on. First is this okay? and second when i dries will i need to sand it or what? has anyone here ever brushed on acrylics and had success? If so let me know
-
another question... I have two guitar that i wanna strip chemically. What is the best stuff to use? also i have an artist who is gonna be brushing acrylic onto one of the guitars for me. Is it best to put a light coat of white on the guitar before she starts. and am i going to have to sand the brush strokes out of the guitar or would it better to use some sort of filler to fill in the gaps? steve

I have an idea for a stratocaster and i want to put a cream color on the guitar like jimi hendrixes... i have ordered a body that has been sealed and is ready to paint. What paint should I use for the base coat, where can i go to get it and do i need to primer first? Thanks steve
