I’m so happy RU-vid put this in my suggestion videos, I love this idea and it’s like a whole new world to me. I’m excited to try this out! Thank you INZANE SKINS!

This is the proper way to apply a wrap. Thanks for figuring out how to do it and explaining things clearly.

Well, my ex wife poured nail Polish remover on my Gibbo Les Paul so I think it’s time to try this. I’ve found a Union Jack 🇬🇧 skin here in England. Wish me luck

Beautiful job and incredible work. I have 5 white Les Pauls customs and I will have to stick with them the way they are but I definitely have some guitars that are candidates. I just saw the finished product and it looks really good

@pauly-007 Год назад

GREAT ADVICE. Was going to do my white Les Paul as a novice / virgin to wrapping a guitar and came across this video. Will feel more confident after seeing this Vid. Not to mention the knifeless tape !! What an invention by 3M. Hope they sell in UK . Really helpful video otherwise sure to have ballsed it up. Thanks again Mr Inzane 🤟

@inzaneskins Год назад

Thanks, Paul - glad it helped. Reach out to me through my website if you have any questions.

@pauly-007 Год назад

@@inzaneskins Hi Mr Inzane. Calling from UK. Followed your vid a bit at a time over past weeks after eventually locating some knifeless tape in UK. It maybe a bit too late now but how do you get the 4 FEMALE pegs OUT which are inserted in to body to hold the male pegs for the tune o matic bridge pieces. I had to put the wrap over them as I couldn't find a way to remove. Then cut around the perimeter of the pegs. NOT ideal, as needed to make a few incisions to lay the wrap flat, maybe for future reference please advise. Not a perfect job as my first time but maybe re-do or learn for next time. Your advice appreciated.🤠

@rogerbrown5016 3 года назад

Great install!! getting ready to skin my Schecter! It's all white just want some color! I think this is a great alternative to airbrushing because you can remove the skins with no damage!! And airbrushing this guitar would never look as good as it does with the skin!

@AzaelVI Месяц назад

I understand how to skin the front and back but how about the sides of the guitar? Do you apply a strip of vinal around the sides and then overlap with the front and back sheets?

Is the vinyl laminated,, so the image has less wear after a while?

@brCharlieNagy 2 месяца назад

guess we have to spray clear coat (lacquer) on it to make it last longer, right ?

@tahwnikcufos 2 года назад

How happy are you with the edge left by the knifeless tape long term? I've been sitting on a gold top wrap project for a while now, trying to decide whether to roll over the edge, or use knifeless tape to expose the stock binding.

@inzaneskins 2 года назад

I do roll over the edge on some guitars, but I typically clear coat over the skins and get rid of the ridge. When NOT clear coating, I like the cut to be about an 1/8' inside of the edge (using knifeless tape). This creates a faux binding and seems to frame the skin nicely.

@tahwnikcufos 2 года назад

@@inzaneskins That's the answer I was looking for - I ordered knifeless tape when I ordered the gold vinyl, just been putting it off.... 1st time wrapping anything.

@grrlinduluth 2 года назад

thanks,my question on guitars like SG style with rounded horns does the skins bunch up or easy to do going around the bends have you done an sg style...i think these are great, I wasnt going to buy a new guitar that i liked because i didnt like the stock colors

@inzaneskins 2 года назад

SG's are tough because of those bevels but I use a hair dryer with a low speed and a warm temperature to press the skin down when necessary. The heat helps to activate the adhesive on the skin to make it stick better. It might still lift a little after using the hair dryer approach, but I do its a few times on the areas that are trickiest and that tends to work well.

@nicolastable6212 9 месяцев назад

Perhaps you already explained it but, does this affect the instrument's tone?

@goat34 5 месяцев назад

Draw a center line before you start on the tracing paper. Then you can line up design exactly.

Yes, we can create skins for whatever parts you Ed t to skin including headstocks.

@patrikevh3701 2 года назад

What kind sheet paper is that? Vinyl?

@sbondokov1 3 года назад

Can we use a spray for windows, before putting the skin, for easier removing the bubbles?

@inzaneskins Год назад

I don't recommend this and the reason is, with the cavities in the body, the skin will shift and start to fall into those cavities, leaving you with less than desirable results.

@ericodreyericodrey3952 2 года назад

Hello ! Do you have the same thing for the headstock ..? Les paul ….? Thanks a lot for your answer ! Great job ! Cheers

@inzaneskins Год назад

Yes, If the headstock has binding, I do use knifeless tape to preserve the binding.

NOP. No exacto blde is coming 100 feet near my guitars. Maybe buy an import just for skinning, and upgrade the hardware and pups after applying skin.

@IChIDH 2 года назад

@stevenstatham2864 3 года назад

Would this be easy with an explorer shaped guitar?

@inzaneskins 3 года назад

Not hard at all. As long as you're comfortable removing the parts, then putting them back on, skinning is not difficult at all.

@BunkerAudioPanama 2 года назад

Probably easier being a flat shaped guitar. Good luck!

@johnanthony6742 Год назад

Ive recently considered doing this to my new Harley Benton. Its the Les Paul single cut body shape like your guitar but im honestly frightened id fxxk it up and end up angry. Right now my guitar is a matte black with gold hardware but im changing all the hardware to black for the black metal look. This looks extremely tedious ! Id rather much pay some one to do it then effing it up on my own..

@ATMcrespo Год назад

Can I spray nitrocellulose over vinyl skins?

@inzaneskins Год назад

I don't recommend nitrocellulose for a couple of reasons: 1. nitrocellulose takes quite a while to cure and harden but the finish will always remain somewhat soft. 2. Nitro eventually cracks and yellows, so that's not ideal. I prefer using a 2-stage urethane clear. It dries fast and is hard enough to sand after a couple of days, and it doesn't yellow.

@birminghamspidey3352 3 года назад

Can these skins be permanent and does the tap come with the skin

@inzaneskins 3 года назад

Skins are semi-permanent without clear coat, and if you clear coat over top, they are permanent.

I guess I should have made that point earlier.. my bad.. I have a couple guitars I think would benefit from ur product

@inzaneskins 3 года назад

@@williamdesilva67 - the majority of our customers either want to make their main guitar look better, or they have a design they absolutely love and they buy a guitar just to have that design on a guitar. I painted/airbrushed guitars for decades and this is a cost-effective solution to paying $2000 for a custom airbrush paint job. I'll say it again - it's not for everyone, I get that - but for many who still love the 80s, this satisfies their desire to have a HOT RODDED guitar.
