      I don't use cans often simply because I have the means to do it with a gun but if you take your time you can get a good finish with them.

    I've gotten a very similar effect by dying the wood with a medium brown leather dye,, sanding it back, then applying bright yellow dye, with a touch of saddle tan to get a bit of aged look. I finished it with 5 coats of antique furniture oil. You'd swear this guitar was 50 years old.

    Hey Pat!
    I’ve used a few brands using aerosol paint as well ( Oxford and also Stew Mac’s ) and they both worked brilliantly as well. A while back I did a one piece Strat body ( Swamp Ash ), and the TV Yellow really worked so well on that wood. Swamp Ash has some of the most noticeable grain patterns I’ve seen too. ( I guess Oak as well however no one wants a 25 pound guitar either lol ). Anyhow, the grain popped so much I didn’t even need to use a grain fill after the TV Yellow, I just went straight to clear gloss.
    Now I realize you’re doing a Gibson mock up here so your wood is the obvious choice, that Sapele wood looks identical to Mahogany like a Gibson should be 🤙
    Loving this build man, can’t wait to see it once it’s all glossed up and that Ebony board along with the black headstock will certainly be an eye~popper! 😊
    Best regards,
    Tommy~

      Cheers Tommy, I would always use a spray gun given the choice but a good quality paint in good rattle can with a fan nozzle will give good results. They have improved a lot over the years.

      I have a huge air compressor here but I don’t have a proper place to set up a proper booth / area so I’m using these often.

    Letting the can sit in hot water will really help with the application process, I saw it on a driftwood/stewmac collaboration project. It makes it so much easier to mix and apply. Looking great!

      Yes, I think going from screen to camera to screen make the JT guitar look more yellow, I'm happy with the outcome though, might still put a toner coat of lacquer over it, dunno, we'll see...

    What is that gel stuff you used for grain filler? Is it because you can't get proper grain filler in England due to environmental over protectiveness? It looked as if it did not fill very well but the final product looks quite good. I am actually starting research to do a repair of this type of finish on a record player console from 1956. I have to somehow blend where the finish has chipped with new basecoat, filler and lacquer. Just as a side note, I am no pro on this finish but an observation because I had to gently remove a refinish which was put on top of the original finish, it seems the original finish is very much a creamy lighter shade, so I think that was the first stage, followed by grain fill and then clear lacquer which has yellowed quite a bit. The final result is close to your yellow, but I think it was originally intended to be a creamier color. In the U.S. there was quite a bit of furniture and TV's/Record Player/Radio Consoles finished in this way in the 50's. I will spray amber lacquer which will help me blend in the original finish with my repair. Anyway, just observations and my limited value input. I guess I felt that I should mention that as I stripped the brown paint and was left with what was remaining of an original finish, I could tell that where the lacquer was removed the color was lighter and I believe that the yellow hue may be due to lacquer yellowing over time.

    • @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams

      It's aquacoat, a water based grain filler. We can get oil based grain filler still however I really like the Aquacoat. I would normally use multiple coats to get the grain fully filled however with the coloured grain filler I didn't want to effect the yellow so left it quite thin. The guitar has been finished for several months now and still looks great. Good luck with your project.

    Hello! If the plan had been a dual pickup model, would you set the neck and then rout the pickup hole; or do at least some routing before setting the neck? Cheers from Alabama!

    • @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams
      @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams  Год назад +1

      If I was going for a two pickup build I would have routed before setting the neck, you could probably do it after but it wouldn't be as easy.

    • @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams
      @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams  Год назад

      It's normal to grain fill before paint, in this instance it was done afterwards to give the grain effect I was after. I actually really like the way it has come out.

What is the idea behind how many coats one wants to apply?

    I'm just not a huge fan of the tuner tips. They are too green. I much more prefer having the white plastic tips, like the vintage ones, but that's a matter of taste.

    All this work and you used rattle cans for the finish? Disappointing. Using a proper spray rig with a good spray gun and an air compressor gives you access to all the premium paint systems in existence. And it doesn't cost that much. Particularly when rattle cans of nitro are so horribly expensive and you get so little actual usable paint out of them due to the thinners and the wasted overspray.

    • @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams
      @Adventuresfromtheshedofdreams  Год назад

      This is the first time with rattle cans on this channel. I usually use a gun but couldn't get my hands on the colour paint I needed. I thought it would be good for those that haven't got access to a spraying set up to see it can be done with a rattle can. Expensive and harder to achieve but possible :)
