[LoveGuitarsNBruises]

Good job man!

I'm planning on painting my acoustic guitar, any hints?

And I also have a question, I've read that strings should be attached 24/7, but does this rule apply to painting as well?

[hatemeplease15]

hi, im am now building my own guitars and i was wondering, what kind finish product should i use to get that treally shinny smooth look great art work

- jake

[extrano16]

1. Use a gloss paint (rather than a matt or satin finish). At least 2 coats.

2. Coat with polyurethane clear coat until you have the desired effect.

3. Post a YouTube video and show the world how well you did!

[Rocket1771]

Great job. And amazing choice of music

[bombniboy3]

its unbelievable, to see all of these guitars with paintings on them (which I reckon any Art critic would rate 100000 out of 10) that have been done by man. not machine, with the human hand!!! its just so amazing. I'm not much of an artist, but you've shown me that theres much more to art than paintings on walls and rooms. But guitars! how did he come up with that idea?

Bravo, Davide Ricchetti! Bravo!

[dubiousgansta]

very cool guitar painting man! I might want you to do my guitar one day!

[rickdav79]

lot of thanks!!!!

[y2t40]

What a Talent!!!

[MentalOriental]

I custom paint motorcycle helmets and gas tanks as a hobby and your guitars have inspired me alot in my drawings for future projects. The way you steer away from traditional "rock" graphics and incorporate well known fine art is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing them with us. Excellent work.
