- In this video we are back to work on this beautiful ES 335 kit from Solo Guitars. We are completing the binding scraping, clear coat, and polishing here so that we can move on to the final assembly and get this thing playing.
This guitar has an awesome burst on it that was done using Oxford Supply lacquers, and I have now done a gloss burst as well, which ended up turning out really cool. I will give you guys a closer look in the next video.

I've wanted to build a guitar for a friend for a while now... Thank you for such great content and fabulous builds...
😎👍
Thank you
If I remember correctly, when I was little my mom had a Chet Atkins song book in the bench seat of a piano someone asked her to hang on to till they had room for it. That picture of Chet holding his guitar is why I love electrics with F holes to this day.
You really have bragging rights with that burst. Glorious.
Thank you
Brad, I don't know why but your videos always come out at the perfect time. My gf and I are currently planning on doing a Smokehouse Burst on a Harley Benton Single Cut kit and your tutorials and guides were very good sources of information and motivation. Thank you.
Glad I could help
Looks fantastic. I've found myself slowly growing a desire to own a 335 style guitar.
Thanks; glad you like it. I’ve never had one before, so I’m excited to give it a try.
Brad that 335 is looking good
Cheers Fred
Thanks Brad really looking good, can't wait to see it finished- Cheers
Cheers Dan
Looking Great !!
Cheers Chris!
Hi my goodness!!! That tape pulling 🥰
Eh Brad. Dat's a nice looking burst. The binding job on both sides of the body is outstanding! God job don'tchya know.👍 Can't wait for the assembly video.
Cheers Brian.
Your stuff is always beautiful man....
Thank you
That's my favorite burst style and that is a beautiful job. Well done.
Thanks Kevin
No, thank you. I've been watching your painting/guitar videos for years. Really helped in my projects.
Glad to hear it
Your golf tan is outrageous aha
That’s hilarious; I never noticed. It only takes a couple hours for me to burn the hell out of most of my arm haha.
Polish burst - I love that idea! And I totally agree, a fully uniform perfect polish somehow lacks character as you say. I have a 6 year old Gibson that was like that to begin with. By now it's checking beautifully 😊
Thanks Dave. I’m glad to hear the Gibson is “maturing” nicely haha.
Great stuff Brad it looks great and the burst is fantastic with a great vintage look thats only going to get better once the binding starts to yellow. Definitely a nice kit and will definitely look better with the hardware fitted!
Thanks Stu. I’m glad you like it.
Nice work Brad, looks great 👍
Nice job on the burst , looks authentic
Thanks. I have a fair bit of practice with bursts.
You need to try super assilex sand paper. And build a pedestal buffer!
I’ll look into that paper; thanks.
That's Looking amazing Brad!! 😎 The clear coat just makes that burst pop. You have done vids before on this type of finishing/scraping/polishing but this way better with the close up of the amber-esk mix (that's not a word🤔) and the steps in scraping, as well sanding with sandpaper and scotch brite. You made it look easy. Thanks for this!!👍
Thanks Mark. As I continue to do these and occasionally cover the same topics I’m trying to address common questions from my prior videos along the way.
@@BradAngove anyone visiting your channel can see that you vids are evolving all the time and your desire to help people like me comes though. I know this only a side project to you're very busy main job please know we all appreciate it 🙏
Just phenomenal looks😍.
Love the es35t the upper and lower are offset on the other es35 kits.
Thankfully I have an Ibanez 335 style with bigsby so I am not spending for another 335 style.
Haha yeah that’s helpful
Looks awesome brother Brad!!

Canada
Taking us to the gun show Brad?
The paint gun part is over, and the other gun show left when Covid hit haha.
Maguires 105 Maguires 205 those are the ones you want to use
So Brad, I am sure you have played with this already but I discovered something using Behlin lacquer. The Behlin reducer is exactly the same as urethane grade auto reducer... and if you use SLOW automotive urethan reducer, the lacquer flows out nicely!
Thanks for the info. There are slower lacquer reducers as well, but I didn’t realize they were the same reducer. I’ll have to look into it.
@@BradAngove the behlin stuff was about 23USD for a quart, i'm not sure if you can get this is Canada but Grow Automotive is about 11 bucks USD
looks great how would that be as a first time kit for a user do have woodworking and electronics
skill
This is a tough kit, but the main thing that makes it difficult is the electronics. There really isn’t any room for woodworking on these ones.
@@BradAngove thanks
Can you link to the video where you paint the burst on this guitar? Part 2 only covers the base coat
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/2IrPJYrBZ5c/w-d-xo.html
Brad, actually the audio quality sounds pretty good.
Thanks; I’m glad to hear that.
Nice !! btw did you happen to notice in the pup cavities the top was seperating from the cavity wells ?
Yes, this kit has always been that way.
I am a spray can guy that has had great results, have done it all by hand and now ready for a battery powered D/A. Any recommendations?
Rigid has a nice one. I haven’t used it for anything like this though. Just wood sanding.
Ok
I'm a long time subscriber and your advices are awesome. Now I need some help. I have an average Indonesian Ibanez RG with (I guess) poly finish. Can I spray over the factory finish? Any chemical reaction to avoid?
If you sand it first you should be good to go. Not much will react to a fully cured factory poly.
@@BradAngove Thx!
👍
That looks great….. so from a start to finish stand point let me see if I have this correct. 1- sand bare wood to 320. 2- grain fill if required then re-sand to 320. 3- sealer or primer, 3-4 coats. 4- level sand to 600. 5 - color coats, as may as required to get your shade right. 6- no sanding - apply clear coats - 4-6 …possibly using the red Scotchbrite or 800 grit in between as required to remove orange peel or inclusions. 7- wait a month. 8 - sand 1500 to 4000 then polish with compound using a system of your choice ( Maguire's Ultimate etc.) 9- assemble and enjoy……. I have four guitars waiting for finish but i'm hesitant to start…. don't want to screw it up...
If you’re using these lacquer then yes, that set of instructions should do just fine.
@@BradAngove perfect. Thanks so much Brad.
I'm wondering a bit about the neck angle. I've never built a 335 and I know cameras sometimes play tricks on perspectives and angles, so I could be wrong, but the angle looks very steep? I hope I'm wrong on this.
These guitars use a raised bridge. I checked the angle before gluing to ensure I wouldn’t have an issue.
@@BradAngove Ok, sounds reassuring, won't be a problem then!
What would you recommend to paint the F holes without making a mess?
What do you mean? Paint the inside? Through the holes?
@@BradAngove Hi, I mean painting the bindings of the F-holes. I tried painting them, but I ended up messing up the body.
You tried painting the binding a different color than the rest of the body?
@@BradAngove yes I’ve kept the body natural, and I want to paint the F-holes’ bindings in black
I see. You’ll likely want to tape around the binding. Use a razor blade to get it masked and then scuff it lightly and spray it.
Why didn't you do a pore fill?
Didn’t want the grain fully filled on this one.
It is maple - what pores?
I'm doing this kit and the bare sanded wood is glass smooth.
Sand it some more and repolish it again. It's still orange peel.
Thanks for the feedback
A lefty wearing a watch on the left how, how uncanny.
I'm a righty and wear a watch on the right.
Your audio game is terrible. Just get a directional mic on your camera
No. I’m in a loud warehouse. That would be awful.
@@BradAngovewhatever you’re doing now isn’t working well. I find it frustrating, because I like your content. And you are one to talk about professionalism. Why ignore this?
1. I’m in a noisy environment, so nothing will work well. The lav mic is the best option that I can come up with.
2. I’m not ignoring it. I deliberately made the switch from a directional mic to a lav mic specifically to address this issue.
3. Frankly this is not a comment that I generally receive. If you scroll through the comments on this video, at least one other person has said they found the audio good.
4. I’m not sure what you mean about the professionalism aspect. When do I talk about that?
@@BradAngove Take this as constructive criticism. Learning about audio engineering will benefit your production.
Ok, Just STOP.... Go watch how cabinet makers apply the exact same lacquer and you will be surprised just how many unnecessary steps you just went through!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is how guitar makers apply it…
If I start looking for a quick way to mass manufacture cabinets though, I will definitely check that out.
