This video will be the first of three in my bass guitar build series that will explain my technique for painting a guitar body. This is NOT a rattle can tutorial!!
Great! I look forward to "real" tutorials as opposed to weekend warrior solutions.
@@mattmeyer8279 Parts 13 and 14 are way beyond most weekend warriors for sure. Sanding sealer, primer, guide coat, more primer, paint, and clear coats.
Thanks for the instruction. Been a wood worker for years but I always learn something new!
What a good idea for softer woods
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the helpful tips!
Love your channel , I just checked out your guitar build plans , I’m going to purchase one
That epoxy looks fantastic.
I actually love agressive roundovers. I think Eric Johnson's (or clapton, can't remember) model had a very rounded body almost to the point it didn't have a flat surface on the sides, to me it looked really cool!

Love the theory behind this. If you planned on accenting the grain and staining the body, would you do this prior to or after applying the layer of epoxy resin
Prior.
Hi Chris! Thx for sharing I always learn a lot! How would you go about filling the woodflaws if you intended to use stain? Cheers V
Stain first. Fill the flaws with epoxy. After the epoxy has dried, sand it flush to the surface and restain where the raw wood was exposed.
@@HighlineGuitars : thank you!
Can you use z-poxy if you’re finishing the guitar with transparent nitro (in my case heritage red) or will it end up affecting the final colour?
That’s a question for the manufacturers.
Hi, thanks for your great videos. I'm starting to do some diy instruments in my house and it's kind of fun.
I just try today yo do some tests with epoxy and my epoxy is too thick. I spread with gloves also but i needed a lot of time to do a test square into wood. Your epoxy is special or has some solvent on it? Thanks a lot
Edit: maybe the answer is to use zpoxy, not epoxy haha
As I understood, he mentioned you can thin the epoxy mixture with over 90% concentration isopropyl alcohol
It sounds like you have quite a knotty problem there. lol If i wanted to teach myself to program a CNC machine as you did, what program should I start with? Thanks again for the video.
The free version of Easel is the best place to start.
Have you ever used the Zpoxy as a grain filler?
Many times.
That guitar body should be on Santa’s knotty list!
Thanks again Chris - I’ve never used zepoxy on a build before - something else to consider. Are you using it as a sanding sealer?
Centurion CW-2001. It's da bomb.
@@HighlineGuitars So Chris, you find the centurion 2001 sanding sealer better than the crystalac?
@@corfo8433 They both are very good. However, the Centurion product is extremely thick which means it can build fast. However, not all spray guns can shoot it. You need a big needle.
You will ever put this design plans for sale on your website?
No. Sorry. I try to refrain from knock-offs on my eGuitarPlans.com website.
@@HighlineGuitars Ok I understand
Rather than investing the extra time and money on the thin epoxy step, wouldn't it just make more sense to invest a little more money into a harder wood to start with?
Sure. But what are you going to do do if the boss says, “It’s got to be Alder, Poplar, or Basswood?
