Peet's Guitar Build

<< < (2/5) > >>

Peetah:
If you talking about the body, I simply used a goddam handsaw :'(  because I dont own a jigsaw.

For the angles, I used a really rough hand file like this Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and really low grit sand paper or else it would hand taken forever.
If a magical genie gave me a tool I would used a belt sander like this Spoiler (click to show/hide)

o wow badass

I had a friend who made guitars but he would do a dipped design, where you mix more than 1 paint together, and make some sort of crazy shape in the paint bucket, then if you insert it right it wraps around the guitar. Pretty sick designs too.

That's exactly what I wanted to do with mine lol. Called swirling I think, they look so awesome imo. Wanted to do some badass black and white one.
SWIRLING(Yellow & Black Custom Guitar)
Kind of like that but not yellow.

Session 2: Gluing the Neck

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
-
Cutting in some bigger cavities to house the specific pickups




-
Gluing neck, I also decided I wanted to bolt it through the back so I carved a slight groove so screw can be flush with the back




-
Shot with the neck on. It is very important that you make sure the neck is straight with the body




-
Using some magic Harry Houdini wood filler to cover the screw and hide any gaps




-
How it looks like after some sanding

I will also be updating the main post.
Damm I wanna jam on it already!  :icecream:

Session 3: Painting - Priming, Base Color, Stencils

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


-
I sprayed about 4 coats of primer. Wet sanded after it dryed.




-
Fast forward, I sprayed 3 coats of gloss black, wet sanded. Takes up so much time... Also turns my hands african american.
Now im masking off for the edge accents.












-
Moving on to the Stencil art.
Only spraying the front at the moment. Waiting for the paint to dry as we speak.
