Guitar Swirl Project - Dipping my Acoustic Guitar

I used enamel paints in my wheelie bin to apply the swirl patterns to my acoustic guitar. It was pretty scary as i'd never seen it done to an acoustic before. The water did manage to get through the tape blocking the soundhole but was only in there very briefly and I don;t think it's affected the sound quality - not noticably with my playing anyway.

Why an acoustic?

[slappiwag]

@kevykev38 i've only ever seen it done on an electric and wasn't too bothered if it ruined this guitar so thought worth a go. it looks loads better than it did before in my opinion

[Britton529]

Was that an Ovation? I'm guessing by the round back. And if so, why the fuck would you be ok with risking an Ovation guitar?
