You make finishing a guitar look do easy. But it is anything but easy. You are a true master of your craft and I sincerely thank you for sharing your what you do with us all. Your videos are second to none!
@@8BombCustom Im having my Gibson Les Paul Traditional refinished by someone in the UK 🇬🇧 I tried contacting you awhile go but empathise with your difficulty dealing over here. Can I ask you a question about him If I am having it sprayed the exact same colour as this is in video on my guitar can I send you picture of what this person's “Gold top” finish looks like? I think this must be just like R7 an within this colour im convinced that this does have what looks like yellow in this. I am thinking of asking what goes into mixture. Didn't know what ask him if he worth what he says he is thank you as its much appreciated kind regards Thank you so kindly James
How do you remove red over spray on a Gibson Custom Shop Guitar? Use Lacquer Thinner? or Rubbing compound? or Steel Wool? maybe a 1,000 grid sandpaper and tape off the edge from the binding? Regards, Gary (Dallas)
Thank you. Indeed, the top on this guitar is very beautiful, but it had one defect in the form of darkening of the wood. We originally planned to use this top for the Goldtop because of this dark streak. But in the process, I noticed that such darkening quickly fades in the sun and becomes invisible. Therefore, I used one of the following projects with a similar defect for Greenie 2.0 and now such a dark area on the maple has completely disappeared. It will be in one of the next videos.
@@8BombCustom I’m looking forward to this. At one time it might not be feasible but I am painting a lespaul of my own. Any tips on what to use for a spray gun. I’m trying to do as much research as possible so I can practice

Having a morning coffee here in Quebec and watching you do a Gold Top starts the day in a great way ! I have a question though, any reason you took off the first coat of green ? Thanks !
So what’s the deal with the green. It’s doesn’t seem like a primer because it’s wiped off so easily, what’s the story there? Why did the first coat come away so effortlessly?
I own a late 1952 lester, a 69 and one from 92 and the last one made in 2005 ... my 69 unplugged beats just about any other les paul i know... i will love the idea of owning one 8Bomb , this fine gentleman nailed the essence of a good quality musical instrument... i close my eyes when i play , i don't care much about a "logo" I respect Ted McCarty and not that much Les Paul himself...I respect this guy talent at making fine musical instruments.
I didn't like wak lay down the first layer. After erasing, it works as a filler for the smallest maple pores. This way I can apply thinner layers in the future.
He is a cross between , guitar luthier , artist , guitarist , " doctor " & mad scientist I am very jealous.

I have a question though, any reason you took off the first coat of green ? Thanks !
Hello. Thank you. You will find the answer to this question in the next series where I make a relic. 😉
@@8BombCustom Thank you !
Wanted to know this answer myself.
Hi, what size of fluid tip and needle do you use for your Spray Gun (0.6, 0.8 ord 1.0)? Cheers Rainer
Hi. 0.8
What are you using to scrape the binding
Rasor
So what’s the deal with the green. It’s doesn’t seem like a primer because it’s wiped off so easily, what’s the story there? Why did the first coat come away so effortlessly?
Great work, as usual! quick question: which nozzle are you using in the Devilbiss? is the HVLP version? lays paint beautifully! Txs
Thank you. HVLP 0.8 mm
is that Devilbiss SRI Pro Spray Gun??
Yes, SRI Pro Light (small version)
@@8BombCustomthe nozzle size please? i want to buy it in here.
0.8 mm
Past me: If it doesn't say Gibson, it ain't a real Les Paul
Current me: If it doesn't say 8Bomb, it ain't a real Les Paul
Thank you 😊

@@MrSouthsilicon Awesome. I have a 2013 Slash model. I need more.
@@MrSouthsilicon Thank you!
So youre saying... I cant use a spray-can?
You can use anything. The result depends on the technology.
What gun do you use?
Devilbis sri pro
my guy had a flamed maple top and covered it with an opaque paint, oh boy...
Первый Фанат здесь 🤘🤘🤘
👍
"After 20 minutes of drying".. what? you wipe it all off again? what are you wiping it off with? why?
