Oh man...that unboxing had me rolling!
But I didn’t actually wrap it in duct tape to send it back at least haha.
you guys confused me a little bit
in my subscription two videos with same guitar
It actually confused me a little too haha.
Haha man I’m glad you skipped the duct tape!
@@andyspark5192 yes i aint the only one
I love the smell of cancer in the morning 😂😂😂
Either that or coffee, right?
how much of youtubers is run on coffee?
@@AJbassist It seems like since Peter started his channel, pretty much everyone haha.
Known to the state of Cancer to cause California
That's on the edge... But still laughable. Is that a word? But Dan, FINALLY the Firebird is getting done! I'm stoked. Greetings from the Netherlands for both of you, this is awesome!
You had me at the bad acting. Already liked this video.
We need more RUclipsr crossover vids!
Bad acting is my only option haha.
What a great collaboration! Can’t wait to see how this looks once it’s finished and set up
matt6288joyce stay tuned, I’ll have the finished project uploaded on my channel next week
Great job Brad! Been a while since I commented on any of your videos, but I've been right here. Dan & Brad, it's very cool to see videos with you two together! Keep'em coming fellas...
Thank you Jeff. I appreciate it.
You two are massive inspirations for doing this type of stuff. I've built 2 DIY basses in the last year (with limited wiring, finishing, and set-up knowledge) and the videos you guys have created are so damn helpful
Glad to hear that you've found our work helpful. That's what we hope for!
F1EMINGO we don’t have all the answers, but we aim to inspire, so your comment really pumps me up! Glad you were inspired to build some basses!
You're like the Bob Ross of painting guitars.
Wow. That’s high praise of which I’m not worthy, but I appreciate it.
Not only no, but HELL NO.
There is maple leaf in the neck pocket right?
That came out gorgeous and absolutely Dan.
So nice! You have such COOL ideas! Love that $leek finish and wondered if it would work on fiberglass surfboards or wood furniture. You have all the best tools... and techniques. Thanks for being so concise but completely thorough with instructions. Those colors work in Costa Rica, too! 😉💕Pura Vida!☀🕶
If you want to do it on fibreglass you will just need to use a compatible primer rather than the vinyl sealer, which is designed for use on wood.
Wow! I love that finish! Its really beatifull! And the two videos super! Thanks!
Adolfo Agudelo thank you sir.
Great collaboration video and a beautiful paint job
Thank you!
Thisai great collaboration set of videos.
Dan Thompson sent me here, and I’m already a fan. I’m working on my own guitar projects, and finishing is a big mystery for me. Looking forward to learning more from you.
I would like to think that you've come to the right place. I hope you enjoy the videos, and go ahead and post any questions you have.
You're the man Brad! That looks amazing!
Thank you sir!
i like the camera on gun, good idea and i like to see how u are spraying, because im new to spraying my first build! always loved both ur channels and glad to see this match up, i watched both channels before the mash up, and u guys nailed it. good content on both
Thank you!
Dude what an awesome collaboration!
Cool!!!! Dan cracks me up. Love your channels.
Thanks Allen.
Looks awesome, great job man.
Great video and great result.
Thanks André
I really love RUclipsrs collaborative projects!
Nice to finally see a professional working on this guitar
Thank you. I'm not sure I would call myself a professional guitar painter, but I appreciate it haha.
This is a similar finish to my PRS SE multi-foil. Looks amazing up close.
I hadn't thought of it like that, but now that you mention it I see the resemblance haha.
What a killer look & finish!!
Than you Mike!
This was awesome. You both did an absolutely incredible job!
Thanks John.
John Lemus thanks!
@@GunsandGuitars You are most welcome and thank you for the awesome content.
@@BradAngove You are most welcome and thank you for the awesome content.
I love both channels. Great job guys!
Thanks Jimmi!
Brad, good idea with the cam on the paint gun! I don’t get sick of it 😁 you need to do that more often!
I’m glad you liked it.
Brad, beautiful job on Dan's guitar. How cool was this for me, to watch my two of my three favorite RUclipsrs in one video.I would like a copy of that book so that I can learn how to paint as well and as quickly as you.
Haha I really should add the book to my amazon link.
Linda Messinger I have first dibs on that book when Brad is done reading it
Great job guys.
Love the paint job.
loving these collaborations.
ps. the real party's DownUnder ! ;)
Thanks Mark.
Mark Tanner are you inviting us or what?
@@GunsandGuitars If you ever want to visit the wonderful land of Aus, would be happy to provide a base camp, show you around and point you in the right direction ;)
Excellent job and I don't care where your from. You do fantastic work. Keep it up.
Thank you Johnny!
Great job Brad. Looks KILLER!!!
Thanks Chris; I'm glad you like it.
I know this is about 3 years old, but this is one of the best finishes (IMO) I’ve ever seen Brad. Fantastic
Thank you Darrell.
You’re a good dude Brad. Thanks for your help. Canada could actually be our Brain. I think you’re on to something. 😁
Dude...I love these crossovers!
You did an awesome job Brad looks amazing, Cheers
Thank you Casper.
Love that saying Dan LOL ! Fantastic job Brad, thanks !
Awesome video! I love the channel cross collaboration 👍 nice guitar 🤘
Scott thanks Scott!
Great collaboration. You guys are awesome!
Thank you!
ALWTunes thanks!
Great job, I didn't realize you and Dan had a connection before the Great guitar buildoff.
Just for this video basically. It was a fun one.
Awesome work ! And finally some link I can use since his don't send to Canada ( Pfffff that silly south American)
Kidding ! I'm really surprised and happy for that collaboration since I've been following you both for quite some time.
Awesome work and keep it up !
Glad you liked it.
The paint gun camera is dope, more of that please!
Glad you like it! Thanks for letting me know.
I started out painting little model cars in my parents' basement, around 1962. Later in life, I managed a body shop. On the side, I've done cars, vans, motorcycles, and an incredibly obnoxious motor scooter (but that's another story.) Thing is: I never cease to be amazed by Brad's work, and the new stuff I learn in the process. Thanks for some fantastic vids, man. This turned out gorgeous!
Thank you Seth. That’s very kind of you.
sorry for the neg. comment you build beautiful guitars.
Love it!! Great job again.
Thank you
awesome finish Brad
Thanks man.
Awesome finish!
Thanks!
Excellent collaboration you guys!
We're all better together...hmmmm?! Beautiful paint job Brad!
Going to GnG now, thanks again, Pam
Thank you Pam. Enjoy Dan's work!
pam carr thanks for checking it out Pam!
NIccce colab guys! Man that thing turned out sweet lookin. Thankx Brad, now I want one lol.
Me too haha. I just don't know if I've got the skills to make a body like that.
@@BradAngove yep, yep, I hear ya bro...Cheers!
Great work Brad,guitar looks incredible.
Thanks Bobby. How are the drum finishes going?
@@BradAngove Built enough kits for myself now getting into learning the guitar and having a blast.I had Daves world of fun stuff fix a chip on my 2017 LP standard .The video is on his channel Here is the link.ruclips.net/video/1bKrTekziBU/видео.html
Bobby Lopes thanks Bobby
I've been subbed to Dan's channel for a long time now too. Great intro!
Just finished it. Looks amazing! The color combo reminded me a bit of Buck Owens when you added the red and blue over the base.
@@cameronchristmann7266 That was kind of the idea.
Love that paint job Brad! I think one of the most beautiful jobs on a guitar I've seen is the silver burst ESP did on their Les Paul style guitars. I think they might have been the first with the silver burst? At least the first I've seen. Keep up the awesome work, love your videos!!
Thanks Jeffrey.
Damn, that's beautiful! Well done!
Thank you!
Great work!
Thank you!
this looks gorgeous!
Thank you!
very cool mixing your own candy.. the guitar turned out beautiful!
Thanks. It's nice being able to control the strength of your own transparent's somewhat.
wow! really nice job
Thanks Daniel
I've gotten stuff from the states as well and it's taped to the box. Said the same thing.
Awesome color
Glad you like it.
Looks epic!!!
Thanks Stu
Looks amazing 👌
Thank you!
I was really looking forward to that intro skit zoom out to Brad sitting on a porcelain throne.
Very cool!!
when my two favourite youtubers collide !!!
YES!!! This collaboration is LONG overdue..
Seth Alley indeed it is!
Seth Alley I’ll take the blame for that 🤦♂️ we planned out this collab over a year ago...
You both are awesome😀
😲!!! SAWEEEET !!!! PAINT JOB!!!
Thanks Trent.
Great video. You and Dan are my favorite RUclips channels!
Thank you Gene. We appreciate that.
DIY Gene thanks gene! That reminds me, I need to get our collab going
Guns and Guitars is this the spray can painter you were telling me about?
Brad Angove or latex and foam rollers. 😂
Canadia smack! I love when the streams cross!
Looks amazing!👍😎🎸🎶
Thank's man.
@@BradAngove yep!☺
Am I the only one who should have been asleep an hour ago but as soon as it was clear these two did a project together, you just knew that sleeping wasn’t an option? Oh well.... Cheers guys. Great job. And good night.
Sorry for keeping you up haha.
Iain Thomas sorry I’m not sorry. Glad you decided to hang with us tonight! Sleep well my friend
Love the paint job on this one. All your art and ideas great
I noticed your paint station and ideas or videos that you may have on building one? Or maybe idea for future video? I need new paint area. Followed your instructions on the rotisserie. Thank you.
If you’re referring to the spray booth it’s actually a large kit that you can purchase and assemble.
bro I love France and guitars so this one is awesome!
It’s a convertible. France when you have it in the stand, the Netherlands when you’re holding it.
Brad Angove even better!
Hey Brad nice job on this one... You mentioned something about not having a Sata Jet but with all the guns you have now you could already have a Sata Jet. I prefer the jet for bases and I strongly stand by the Iwata for a clear gun! They are much lighter than Jet and IMO Iwata clear guns Kill the competition. I never liked sand and buffing guitars bcs the paint can burn near where the tuning keys go on the head stock and near the pickup openings. IDK if you EVER used any of those guns before but with the edition of a $100 clear kit with slow activator for the clear and slow reducer for the bases.... You will NEVER have to sand and buff ANYTHING again, not even a guitar. I like to Use normal activator for my first 2 coats of clear bcs it lets be build more clear material on my subject. My last 2 coats I use slow clear activator bcs it self levels and stays wet long enough to allow me to lap the guitar enough times untill its fully wet 360 degrees keeping in mind that Im hitting the face of the guitar body lastly as my finishing move. If you are not content with the overall product, block sand it 600 wet and perform another clear coat with slow activator. Youll only need 2 coats bcs a "wet sanded" (clear coat) will only hold two oats of clear before it runs bcs there is o base coat to absorb the clear. I promise you 100% You will never wet sand & buff anything again.
I love videos like this cause they always remind me why i just flood my guitars with superglue then polish them and call it a day...its very fun to watch..but never to do..
To each their own I guess. I always enjoy doing jobs like this.
That intro was so funny 😄
This is hilarious. You guys are amazing.
Jamie Lamb thanks Jamie
Jamie Lamb thanks Jamie! Good to see you here
@@GunsandGuitars Thanks Dan. I'd seen a few of Brad's videos before, but had no idea you guys were youtube buds. I'm subscribed to him now, as well. Thanks for always making great content. Once I get that Rick kit going, I'll let you know. I'm sure you'd like to know what it turns out to be lol.
Excellent video Brad! See, there is a reason we keep you Canadians around!!
LOL funny story - you know the Les Paul I have asked you a thousand questions about? I painted it last night, LOL using paint brushes!!! Not quite the way Dan was going to lol, I oil paint as well and I used a couple of those brushes to do like a marble effect on this Les Paul, I LOVE the way it is coming out. I should be sending you photos of the completed project shortly! Ya know, I never could get that orange peel effect to stop happening with that other way I was going to paint it, I have a feeling there may have been something wrong with the paint. You have been a true help in building it and it will not go unnoticed my friend!
This is one gorgeous guitar you got there,it's too bad a guy like Dan is going to end up with it, Lol, I'm kidding of course! I bought one of his Tshirts awhile ago and I gotta say, it is very comfortable and I get asked a lot of questions about it!!
I can't wait to see the photos Ron. I'm glad to hear it's going well for you. Glad you mentioned the t-shirt, I really should give Dan shit for not sending me one haha.
@@BradAngove He hasn't sent you a shirt? Dan what's wrong with you!! Lol. I will definitely be sending you those pics Brad, like I said you have been a big help in this process. One thing I am learning is that I need to use larger guns like you use. I do all my work with a small air gun, like the one you used to paint inside those cutouts on Dan's guitar. I do have larger guns but for the amount of paint I usually mix up I don't think it would be enough in the cup lol. I am going to look for the small/large gun you said is your favorite.
Awesome!!
Thanks Mark
Holy Crap I can't quit laughing!! Brad bringing the comedy!
Great video as usual! Very helpful for us amateurs.
Glad you found it useful despite the more specialty type stuff involved.
Dutchie here. I love this finish, and would love to replicate it on a build, however I still have a long way to go before I can pull something like this off. Starting with getting a good understanding of the different paint types and their compatibility
Ruben Tan well, we’ve got at least some of that information kicking around on this channel haha.
@@BradAngove I've found them. I just need to take some time to write it all down and actually figure it out and understand it all rather than just quickly watching the videos
That...is...sick!!
Thank you!
Thanks i really enjoyed the video
Glad to hear it.
Omg that is bad ass!
Thank you.
Do you talk more about the wax and grease remover used as sanding lube in your other polishing videos?
Great job, as always, Brad! One day I will graduate from spray cans to a gun :)
The transition to a gun can take a bit of practice, but it is well worth it man!
love it
Glad to hear it.
The collaboration i didn't know i wanted
I hope you enjoyed it.
wow tour the best.....
The ultimate jam video would be Brad, Dan, Darrell and Maxxx (after he's healed).
Haha I have no business jamming with the likes of those guys, but that sure would be fun. I'm sure I would learn a thing or two.
Congrats. You made a Netherlands flag guitar! Cool effect though.
Yes, if you watch the whole video I specifically make that joke near the end as part of the America/Canada banter going back and forth.
I have a serious question I already ask you about and you told me to check With BigD. I’m assuming I would dye the front of the guitar first and stain the back first. Then use Behlens vinyl sealer and behlens string instrument lacquer after that. This kit is a Les Paul from Precision Guitar Kits. It doesn’t have a binding so I wanted to leave It unfinished cap to look like a binding. I thought I would tape it off and put on vinyl sealer before staining and dyeing the guitar. My concern is the stain and dye bleeding on the unfinished cap and not having a clean line. Good idea or bad? Or is there a better way to do that. Thanks for all your previous help. My first build looks great thanks to you.
It looks like you could adjust your spray fan width so it's a little more narrow. I would also thin out your paint and use more coats to prevent any orange peel. The bottom line is you want the paint to flow out better on the surface. This will take less time in sanding etc.
Thanks Tom.
@@BradAngove , Thanks for the video. I know a lot of these paint manufactures say to never thin their paint, or at the most, 5%. I thin a lot of the two part paints up to 100% (one to one) often with great results. Not sure what might work for you, but good luck with your projects.

Excellent paint job. Basis for paint job comes from the late, great Buck Owen's and his lead guitar player Don Rich. Ever thought about a Canadian red/,white/red scheme ?
Thanks Michael. I'm familiar with the origin, I just had to make fun of it haha. Dan had mentioned to me that a Canadian version would be cool.
That texture technique and candy finish gives great depth to guitar. Almost a quilt top look. Cheaper too
@@michaelailer5623 Much cheaper haha.
Michael Ailer I vote Jamaican flag next time
Build a guitar like Bo Diddly original Gretch (pure rectangle one) and do Jamaica flag on it.
I need more collabs in the future
That makes two of us haha.
Amazing stuff! Personally though, I’d have preferred a red and white finish on the guitar Brad! 😉
I guess I'll have to get to that as well at some point haha.
Brad if I lived in Canada I’d absolutely pay u for one!
Thanks Asim.
i taught it was france's flag xD but that technique is awesome tbh i kinda like the irregular finish, probably because of the paper technique you used, but i kinda like that, gives it some character to the piece
Thank you Carlos.
I was joking near the end that it's actually the Netherlands' flag.
Thanks for the reply about the filler ... is there a type of filler that is better? ... I've seen tints for wood colour finishes but what do you use to tint for these type of finishes?
The standard water based filler works fine and you can tint it with aniline dye or even water based stain or acrylic.
@@BradAngove Thanks
I loved this collab! More like this please! So we can go in depth in every aspect! Btw i have a question, what kind of spray can primer can i use to use it later with poliester paint with paint gun? (Enought pressure for paint but not for primer)
I would love to do more stuff like this haha. I do have another collab planned, but it's set up a little differently. Are you able to spray polyester sealer? If not, I would think that spray can vinyl sealer would be a functional alternative.
@@BradAngove thanks!
Should have painted the union jack Brad or is that my next guitar!!!!
Yours mustn't have arrived at the shop yet haha.
Were there any special steps or considerations you used to go poly over lacquer? I know that it can be troublesome and usually people say to never do that.
I let the lacquer dry for 2 weeks and then sanded it. No issues. They tend to play well together if adequate drying time is given.
Brad, I have a Les Paul style kit guitar I purchased from Precision Guitar Kits. It doesn’t have a binding so I wanted to leave the unfinished maple cap on the sides of it to look like a binding. I thought I would tape off the unfinished maple on the sides and spray on vinyl sealer before staining the bottom and dyeing the top of the guitar. My concern is the stain and dye bleeding into the unfinished cap and not having a clean line. Good idea or bad? Or is there a better way to do that. Thanks for all your previous help.

Hello i have a question for you if im using sanding laquer and water acrylic do i still use the wood filler first, and then use the acrylic paint and then do i use the sanfing laquer next. I dint want to see the wood grain so do i use a primer. If you could please give me the step order i need to follow when using these items to paint my guitar.
Thanks so much for shRing all your videos you do such an amazing job on your work.
Are you referring to sanding sealer? That would go after the filler but before the acrylic.
Thanks so much i understand
