Awhile ago I asked for some help from this forum, and with it I have finished my first alteration of a guitar. Nothing compared to what usually is done around here, but it suits me.

It is a copy of the Jimi Hendrix Monterey Pop replica, with some changes. I did it on a Squier, and it turned out pretty good:

Okay, thanks for your help. I think im just gonna go with a white base, but we'll see.

Ah yes, thanks, it is the monterey pop design that I was going to try do, but with only a white base. How did you do the red fade? Also, I noticed yours is different here and there; I'd like a nice deep red for the flower and heart etc, is this a limitation of the paint or just a choice by you? I dont suppose you have any closer pics that show the edges of the lines clearer/if its a glossy or more matte finish?

Sorry to hit you with all these questions, and nice job! I hope mine turns out as well as yours.

Thanks again for your help.

Hey

I am new here and new to painting a guitar. I've read through and searched the forums but I didnt find anything dealing with what I am interested in, so here goes:

I bought a cheap squier stratocaster to mess around on (I mainly play bass) and I'd like to try hand paint it - specifically, slightly complex-curvy-flowing-flowery lines here and there, on the front of the guitar. Now, as I said, I know nothing about the feasibility of this, but I'd like to do it without sanding down the guitar or what have you, just painting over the top of the factory finish. It is a creamy white colour. Is this possible? If so, what materials and methods do you recommend?

Thanks
