How To Paint A Guitar Headstock With Spray Cans 

Cool as a cucumber me 🥒 no nut case, over the top millennial drama on this channel 😂👌🎸😎🇬🇧

Yeah bro go for it, the water slide decals are easy to fit too (video in the new year)

Yeah bro get them painted look so much better, check my latest video I just rebuilt a VM Jag bass. 😂😂 Well had to celebrate Frusciante coming back. Happy new year 🎉

ah awesome good choice

The Guitar Manifesto yep! Btw what you think of my guitar i know it looks crappy but by time goes I’ll slowly turn it into vandy

😂😂 it's a strange world out there

@@theguitarmanifesto hey bro, can I use nitrocellulose varnish over acrylic spray paint?

Business as usual bro 🎸👌😎🇬🇧

🤣🤣 rock on 😀

Go for it just take your time preparation is the most important part. As for the vibrato you'll need a router to make the route for the vibrato to fit, the body is very thin personally I wouldn't bother .

@@theguitarmanifesto Yeah, that's why I've been watching your videos to make sure it gets done right. I personally hate how the guitar looks now, with standard setup and how it was built, so I want it to work for me and fit the part, given I'm in a band now for the first time. I want to varnish the neck, but would I varnish it first or paint the headstock first? I've literally never modded any instrument in my life, so it's all new territory.

Yes 10 minutes between coats does the trick 👌

@@theguitarmanifesto Thank You so much 🙃

I have another question sorry tomorrow I finally start to paint the Headstock of my Jag .. I understood well that after the 4 coats of paint you must wait few weeks before give the 2 clear lacquer coats ? 😑 Thank u again 🙏🙏

No you can do it after 30 minutes

I tried this but used a fine sandpaper before doing the lacquer which resulted in lots of lumps.

Yeah the neck is a good 4mm smaller in width. Like I said in the video everything for a reason all the stars aligned 🎸👌😎🇬🇧

No from whole guitars although I do sell Squier necks

If you're in the US check out stratosphereparts.com. They have all kinds of stuff on there

Good shout they have some great stuff on there 👌🎸

I didn't, definitely not between coats. The final coat went on really smooth so didn't need to wet sand after

I'm not sure was a fine sanding block, probably around 800 grit

@@theguitarmanifesto Understood, thanks.

Awesome 👌🎸

Glad it helps 👌 Thank you very much, have a great Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎅

No idea Google it

Coming along nicely

Thanks dude 🎸💯👌

Thanks bro 🎸👌

Thanks 🎸👌

Oh yes most definitely last Jag I done it on was a surf green one, it's in my earlier videos

The Guitar Manifesto I wish we could post photos in the replies. The Jag I did was Ghost Silver. It was a Blacktop Jag. It looked factory when I was done with wet-sanding and polishing. Makes the biggest difference you know.

Ooh nice bet it looks great, I've had a few Blacktop Jags awesome guitars really love the sound of them humbuckers 😎🎸 I'm on Facebook and Instagram The guitar manifesto if you want to tag me a pic

That's who I always use, can make custom names too

@@theguitarmanifesto how do you get ahold of him?

A few hours

Yes exactly the same process 👌

YES you need to paint will look awesome 😮🎸👌

I'm offering free eye wash 🤣🤣

Just a fine block like around 1000 grit maybe

Let it flow 😂😂 one turn with an Allen wrench and the world's good

I use whatever vehicle paint I have laying around or I find cheap, 2k stuff would be a better option for a cleaner finish I guess

@@theguitarmanifesto Cheers mate, I’m gonna look Into giving it a go

I may well do 🎸👌

Sponge sand pads are also good for frets ends and round the edge of the fingerboard I link a video I made on that subject. Must be a RHCP 😂 🌶️🔥🎸😮😎

This video at about 5.18 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KmGoZLEzZ7E.html

oops! you dont need em! good one.

Yeah bro the tuners fit 🎸👌

It was car paint some VW colour, I just looked for the closest match to Dakota red

Must be a glitch in the matrix or something 😏

Same principle

@@theguitarmanifesto yeah but a headstock is flat and a strat is curvy round the edges.

No it's fine

Looks great red

The Guitar Manifesto I wouldn’t disagree. Im painting my headstock black, but if I don’t cover the trust rod, will that not wreck it??

600 or 800 grit would do the job

Yes just regular car paint 🎸👌

Sound...might try this on my tanglewood tele headstock. I put in a wired tele harness today with the orange drop treble bleed and jumbo pots but had to chisel out (no dremel) room for the wider pots as the cavity rout was just a bawhair too tight. Installing a precut bone nut over the holidays so might just spray the head stock first👍. Also replaced the tele neck pup with a Wilkinson Strat pick up and used a flat and round file (no dremel) to widen the pickguard . Great channel BTW gave me the confidence to mod beyond just changing tuners and pickguards. Need a dremel though......maybe I'll ask Santa Ho Ho Ho ! Cheers and Happy Christmas 👍

Ah awesome that's some solid mods you've made there best it's sounds killer 🤘🎸 You gotta work with what you've got but yes a Dremel makes like so much easier. Glad you like the channel and I've inspired you to mod guitars 🎸🤘 merry Christmas and happy new year 🎄🎅

A few days does the job

Making sure you're all paying attention 🤣🤣🤘🎸

If you bothered to search more of my videos you would know the next part of this series is up I even made a playlist 😂
