Great stuff! Happy New Year! So happy to see that you're still making videos! 🙂 If I may be so bold, I've got a few content suggestions! 😄 There's a lot of newer guitar players who might not be quite that interested in the entire process of a guitar's construction (yet!), but they might be interested in customizing their existing, cheap guitars. Maybe it would be worthwhile to look into something like "Add bling to your guitar" miniseries? With things like a) cutting out and staining backplates / pickguards; b) DIY adding flame maple veneers to your guitar (!); c) DIY adding fret inlays to your guitar (!!). I myself am dreaming of sanding down a white neck-thru Jackson SLX, gluing on an epic flame maple veneer (with a matching headstock), and refinishing it in purple burst 🤩 But everyone only makes videos of gluing veneers onto bolt-on guitar bodies! So I'm always too squeamish to try it out! Especially since I don't have any special luthier tools or even a workshop, just my living room / balcony. It would be epic to see a pro do it with a neck-thru 😄 We've got a guy here in Estonia (Kaur Kukkur) who has done some pretty jaw-dropping things for the guitarists from Wintersun (and Temu Mäntysaari now plays in Megadeth!), including reversing the headstocks on their Ibanez guitars. The first time I saw it, I just couldn't believe my eyes. I just think didn't think that the headstock was symmetrical enough to allow such a mod, or that the glue would be strong enough to keep it together. That could also be an awesome guitar mod to watch get done! Slightly off-topic, but I can imagine guitar modding becoming a really huge thing. There's just such an enormous amount of cheap guitars out there, especially ever since the pandemic, and at the same time, with TH-cam (and channels like this), it's never been as easy to learn how to do things yourself. Anyhow, thanks for the content and keep up the great work! 🙂 From Tallinn with love 🇪🇪
First off, thank you :) And secondly, that is a fantastic idea. The whole thing about customizing pre-existing guitars. I've done quite a few of these in the past, but would be good to do in better quality if an opportunity were to come up to do so🤞🏼 As for the veneering a neck-through/set neck, done it once and again could do another if it comes up🤔 however that video is here if you'll find it helpful: th-cam.com/video/YXBZcvLU-cQ/w-d-xo.html Kaur Kukkur is a wizard! Love following their work, it is amazing quality. A totally terrifying concept to do with the current sharpness level of my tools though😅 would love to reverse my personal Ibanez's headstock. And yeah, guitar modding is a huge thing and exactly what I got my start in I just wish I had this library of content there is nowadays. It was fun back then, but had ZERO clue to what I was actually doing.
Happy New Year Tomster. I really need to get myself one of the Savage Industries work aprons - better than the ratty overall I used to wear when doing guitar work, and way more useful. I'm surprised you have not fabricated a jig/ handle that screws into a pickup cavity to assist with painting. I think Texas Toast use that and Brad Angove has demoed a standalone that pivots and rotates. I like the new body shape and the paint really suits the unique contours. Also - 8 string Daedelus? Neck pocket looks super wide.
The Savage apron is amazing👌🏼 I do need to fix some of the stitching on one part though as my pens might fall through at some point. There's a fair few jigs for painting and honestly, if I had my own paintbooth I 100% would have a painting jig. But because I don't I have no idea where I would store it :/ The painted guitar is actually a collaboration with Filatone Instruments and is his design, been so much fun to make it as it is COMPLETELY different to what I normally do. And 8-string Icarus, 7-string Daedalus. The 8-string is the 30" scale length beastie
@@IPGuitars Most of the painting jigs seem to be made of a broom handle, plumbing pipe and a tripod stand of some kind. I don't think they take up that much room to be honest - search for Guitar Spraying stand on Brad's channel for a commercial one. I was wondering if the Filatone collab was going to bear fruit - looks great. 8 string Icarus does sound like it'll be beastly. Good luck with the rest of that build.
I know of the ones you speak of and I do think about them often. If I start doing more spray work, then I'll probably look into it a little more. But with sprayed finishes being somewhat few and far between right now, I don't count it a priority. I can manage a tired arm every now and then😂 And thanks!
Vaihoin tossa nauhat mun vanhaa takamine gx 200t skebaa. Muuten meni helvetin hyvin mut parista kohtaa lähti noi nauhapääkolojen täytteet pois, unohin tietenki ottaa otelautahionta pölyy taltee ja nyt nuo muutamat päät ammottaa tyhjyyttää. Millä noi kannattais näin jälkikätee täyttää ku ei nyt oo ruusupuupölyä saatavilla?
Tähän hommaan monesti käytetään ihan vaan ca-liimaa, eli superliimaa. Kannattaa käyttää semmosta juoksevaa sorttia (zap-a-gap, gorilla), ei geelipohjaista. Samalla tuo liima myös täydentää nauhauria nauhan alta.
Awesome!
Damn, that blue looks absolutely gorgeous!!!
I know right? Nitorlack Metallic Teal🤌🏼🤌🏼

@@IPGuitars Oh wow, I don't know how I missed that one! Thanks a lot!
I mean, it's from like 8 years ago, so I don't blame ya😂
