[CarmenWendell]

[Guitarmajster]

whats that song name man its great :)

[paintballkiller54]

what is that song played at the end?

[squidgybidge]

Really cool. Nice seeing you freehand the rest of design into what you expect it to look like.

I hadn't thought of the fact the pick-ups and the case would need different priming.

[gerpir]

NOTHING SPECTACULAR ? hehehhehe would love to have anything like that "nothing" on my guitar... 

[svartsaft]

boxing day?

[svee]

@svartsaft yep, the day after christmas day ;)

[jfr04]

Not as complicated he says...

[BellRacingTeam93]

it's funny i can't draw or paint to save my life but i can airbrush like a photocopier

[puelladeluxe]

how much would painting my guitar cost?

[OverDosex321]

i have a question , once u paintbrush the guitar will the guitar still work if u put the pick ups and strings and all that on please tell cuz if it still works i amma gna do it 2 my flying v guitar thank u

[svee]

@OverDosex321 as long as you dont slap the paint on real thick your guitar will be totally fine mate.

[webcamguitarlessons]

hey svee! great video! what kind of marker did you use on this??

[svee]

@webcamguitarlessons i used "Edding 8404" pens mate because they are water-based so wouldnt cause any reactions with the water-based paint i was using ;)

[Eraj1979]

Nice! Really like your work mate! If I ever make it big, will have you do art work on mine! Btw, how much would it cost for it to look like the end of this video. i.e just black pen plain surface (protected with whatever)

[rg320tom]

how much do you charge for this service?

[svee]

@rg320tom Very much depends on the design/amount of work involved mate. Prices start at £200 and go right up to £1000.

[GungeScleraEmpyaema]

@svee sweet work, man only if you were over here tho

i wish i had you paint my guitar dirt design graphics RUINED MY GUITAR

an absolute amateur

[m0j0101]

you did a paint job for THE MONKEY LORD. i envy you. i just bought my first airbrush set, i'm trying to learn from your videos

[RidvanDuzey]

Holy shit I'll be messaging you one day when I have money to custom one of my guitars, YOU ARE FREAKING GOOD AT THIS !!!!!!

[svee]

Hehe thanks mate, love your playing. Been watching you for a while now (that sounds really creepy doesnt it lol). Any time you want something done just shout and ill see you at Monkey fest ;)

[najtrows]

OMG this seems to be great! i'll check out the other parts as well!

[SwampAshSpecial]

WOOO! SVEE + Chapper FTW!

[gerbilho]

You work for £2.5 an hour? I'm surprised... how is that possible? You deserve more.

[MetalMessiah625]

hey svee how much would something like this cost?

[svee]

Something with this much work in it (aprox 200 hours) would be around the £500 mark mate. Price goes up if you are outside the UK though because of postage/insurance costs ;)

[MetalMessiah625]

thats really not too bad tho im US so something less complicated like just a camo job or like hte kirk hammett mummy how much would that be?

soorry for all the questions , just really looking to have one painted lol

[svee]

Thanks mate. If its your first go at painting a guitar then i would advise painting over the existing finish. then all you need to do is scuff up the finish so the paint has sommething to cling on to and away you go. If you go down to bare wood you have to worry about grain sealers, wood primers and all sorts and it is loads more work.

Check out my you tube channel as i have just uploaded 4 videos that go into great detail on how to prep a guitar (Appetite for destruction vids).

[puffal59]

hey svee

its me again sorry to keep bothering you lol

i was wondering what primer you use on your guitars

whether the white is a base-coat or not

and i am sorry to keep bothering you

cheers mate :)

[svee]

No problems mate ;)

If its already got a paint job on it (so you are painting on top of an existing finish) i scuff it up using 600 grit wet & dry paper so the surface is rough, not at all shiny and then i lay down 3-4 light coats of Auto Air base coat sealer dark (black) or base coat sealer white.

If its bare wood (or something else) then different primers will be needed. It all depends on what you are painting mate.

Also depends if you are using water-based paints or solvents too.

[svee]

Im gonna be posting a step-by-step video of the prep for a guitar some time in the next few weeks if you are interested bud ;)

If you have any questions though just drop me an email or message ok ;)

[Beckywheeler]

WOW DUDE! You draw really fast and you don't look like a ginger yetti anymore....well Yetti anyway? PMSL! Only kidding it's Mrs. Svee here.

[darkdezigns]

hi svee bdt from oi,amazing mate,yet again lol

[svee]

Cheers buddy, Part two coming sooooon ;)

[GibsonUSA1982]

You're amazingly awesome at this stuff, man. I watched you airbrush Llexi's guitar, and I must say, HOLY CRAP! Hah, keep up the good work man.

[svee]

Thank you mate, will do ;)

[svee]

lol yeah im taking a break from those, well, on the art side of things anyway hehehe

*gets a slap from Mrs Svee*

[m4rtin77]

:D fu****** amazing  !! How much it will costs ?

[svee]

Cheers mate. Because of the hours involved, Rob's design would set you back £525. You would of course need permission from Llexi Leon (Eternal Descent's main man) as he owns the artwork involved.

[prawn87]

looks ace, look forward to part 2

[RobChappers]

Mate that looks amazing, thank you so much for your excellent work! Can't wait to rip into it :-)
