This is exactly what I was looking for; a full body vinyl tutorial. In my mind I couldn’t sort out how everything would look smooth and seamless all the way around a guitar. Now that he showed and very clearly explained the process, I feel confident in being able to wrap a whole bunch of electric guitars. Thank you. This was extremely helpful.
I just got some metallic black wrap from you guys anout a month or so ago. When i ordered it was advertised on a strat body, which is what i have. The wrap is just maybe barely wide enough to cover the widest part of the front/back. I dont mind trying to hide the edges on the side, but will applying heat with a heat gun help the wrap stretch a tiny bit so i get 100% full coverage ?
Great idea, we will try and release a video on that shortly. In the meantime, the principles are pretty much the same for wrapping a guitar whether it is acoustic or electric.
Moks, there will be a slight difference. The formula for determining wood movement for acoustic instruments shows that the thickness of the moving cross section has a stiffness that is multiplied by a power of 3, a cube. The thicker it is, the less vibration, bottom line. Thick coatings on violins, cellos and classical guitars will dampen the movement and the resulting ability to project sound.
Hello, I would like to put a skin wrap on a fender stratocaster. I'm thinking of wrapping the body in two parts, front side and slice then the back side. how to connect the two parts so that it is not visible? THANKS. Sincerely.😊
I was just wondering about this, as I was thinking about wrapping an electric guitar with one of the carbon fiber wraps. I wasn't sure if it would stick to the factory lacquer. Quick question for you though: the guitar body has a few minor chips here and there. Nothing huge, just some very shallow dings in the lacquer with none any bigger than about 1mm. Since the carbon fiber has visual texture, can I safely just wrap over them? I know they might be visible after wrapping, but is that the only issue? Or, should I try to repair them first?
It shouldn't amage the factory lacquer at all. Carbon Fiber s actually an excellent choice (over a Glos solid color for example) because of the texture. No need to repair them unless you maybe want to seal them beforehand to prevent over-adhesion.
That's a great question. If you mean a guitar that is not sealed, no top coat it is probably best not to wrap it. The adhesive could affect the grain if you ever choose to remove it and essentially take tiny slivers out during removal. If that's not what you meant, please let us know and we will do our best to get you the answer!
This is a result of global supply shortages. You will find that this is a widespread problem. We wish it weren't this way but we do offer a number of alternatives in our Rwraps™ line of vinyl films.
Assuming the finish or top coat on the guitar is in good condition, no it should not get damaged. We recomend heating the film prior to removal to soften the adhesive.
What color guitar wrap would you choose?
Light blue for sure

Thanks! We try our best. What guitar will you be wrapping?
You are really good at speaking with young students. Great video
finally how to do the sides..thanks
Great job. I guess we have to spray clear coat (lacquer) on it to make it last longer, right ?

Yes, a heat gun will help.
Would this vinyl wrap also work for keyboards? I would really like to give my Yamaha psr a new makeover!
Yes! It absolutely should work on the body. We never experimented with the keys, but we imagine you could even wrap those.
what size vinyl would you need for the whole guitar ?
Usually 2 sheets of 24" x 36" will allow you tow wrap the front, back and sides of the guitar.
@@Rvinyl did you use a guitar skin or wrap in the video ?
Why wasn't a heat gun used? Since no stretching of the wrap was done, what would the difference of applying heat be?
This would be used in the post heating phase (not shown) to help cure the vinyl and release any trapped air.
Can you do a tutorial wrapping an electric guitar
Great idea, we will try and release a video on that shortly. In the meantime, the principles are pretty much the same for wrapping a guitar whether it is acoustic or electric.
What size would I need for a takamine g series cause on the website it says to give a size but I don’t know what size to put in
Love from India.. Great work
Thank you, we really appreciate your support!
How much would i have to purchase to cover the entire guitar?
That depends on if you are going to do the front and the back, but usually two sheets of 24" x 36" is all you need.
Wow!
It came out great! Thanks for the support.
Does this change the sound of an acoustic guitar?
Great question, we did not hear any noticeable difference nor heard any complaints. Either way, it is removable.
Moks, there will be a slight difference.

what kind of vinyl did you use for the guitar? Is it the same one used to cars?
Yes! This is the same great film we use for vehicle wraps.

Do we have to use a heat gun?
A heat gun is recommended, you would at least want to use a hair dryer on a high setting!
What are the measurements to wrap the whole guitar?
It depends on the size of the guitar but five feet should be more than enough.
Will this work for an open pore walnut guitar?

You can wrap it
Just don’t take off the wrap or else the wood won’t look the same
Why are so many of your wraps discontinued. Better yet, why are the discontinued wraps still being advertised?
This is a result of global supply shortages. You will find that this is a widespread problem. We wish it weren't this way but we do offer a number of alternatives in our Rwraps™ line of vinyl films.
Does Rvinly deliver's to india??
Yes! We ship worldwide.
Would the guitar get damaged if you choose to remove the vinyl
Assuming the finish or top coat on the guitar is in good condition, no it should not get damaged. We recomend heating the film prior to removal to soften the adhesive.
Took a nice looking gloss black guitar and turned it matte grey. Not an upgrade in looks bro.
You have won the internet. I guess we'll just pack up here and go. Thanks...😪
It's a tutorial my guy, relax.
@ViktorHansen23 still took a nice looking guitar and F'ed it up.
Why?
