Scraping Binding and Clear Coating my First Acoustic Kit 

"Like button" ever so gently caressed. I got so fixated on electric guitars myself that I kinda forgot that acoustics existed. Well, not really, but seeing the posts on this has made me think about maybe getting an acoustic kit at some point once I've burned through my backlog of electric kits.

You seem to be feeling under the weather a little...I hope you and yours are well...love the channel Brad.. you've helped me alot

Just got an ES 175 style archtop for my birthday. Beautiful guitar. Vintage voiced humbuckers, gold hardware, trapeze tailpiece and a florentine cutaway. Finished in Arctic White. My dream guitar.

Keep on dialing it in on your Angove- Stradivarius guitar. Can't wait to hear it played you . Best David I'd like to see you make a mariachi bass guitar as well. I'm impressed David

I was in the piano and antique restoration business for over 40 years spraying and have refinished over 100 grand pianos with nitrocellulose lacquer i have never had a problem of lacker cracking and i wet sand every peace i ever done but you're right about spraying too heavy lacker can do some strange things such as pitting or seperating you want to spray it wet enough to flow out but not so wet as to pile up 2 light coats are always better than 1 heavy one if you add a small amount of retarder to your lacker it will flow out a little better on the last cople of finishing coats though it will slow down drying I would not recommend putting the guitar in the case until it has dried about 2 weeks or when you can no longer smell it when putting your nose up to it if you can smell it it is gassing and still drying also never let the finish come in cotact with plastic or foam rubber or any sort of rubber there will be a chemical reaction one case in point a customer called me to come out at there new Kitenger dinning table that they payed $10,000 for in the 70s yeah im old lol she had laid plastic grapes on the table for decoration tthey melted down into the lacker all lackers are not created equel either in my opinion to Sherwin-Williams makes the best lackers Sherwin-Williams cab acrylic is some really tough stuff you can spray it on a oak board several goats take a hammer and hit it you will not marr the Finish you will dent the wood try that with any other lacker just follow directions on the bucket when using I used it on table tops especialy

Looks good Brad!

Nice job Brad. That was a great class on spray can technique.

The bit of binding flake flying off the top when you started to spray made me laugh! Good job I'd didn't land in the wet lacquer. Its looking great Brad for sure and loving the vintage look. Bet its gonna sound great just having a thin nitrocellulose finish. And in 20 years it's gonna look even better when it's aged and started to crack! Good work mate.

Brad - this has been a really good series - thank you - Cheers

Looks great Brad, good job!👍

I’d check your lens Brad after spraying the back!

As usual it's looking really good Brad. I have a Gibson SG kit on the way and I want to paint it rose red like they used to make them and I'm a little nervous about painting because I'm going to set up my filters and my gun and that's what I'm going to use now I have a question. If it is already nice and smooth do I need to put a primer on it before I paint the red and I want to put nice clear that I got from crazy cans that has hardener in it when you pull a pin on the bottom it breaks another container inside and the hardener is released works really really good something you might want to check out their out of Florida but they get them what they sell from the UK but like I said do you think I need to primer the body and the back of the neck or can I just spray right over the wood because I don't want to cover up the grain anymore than I have to. I'm using talk-to-text so I hope some of the right words were printed and you can make sense of what I'm saying LMAO but I do like the job you're doing on the acoustic I have never done one either

Looking good!! Would you do the same process for a black acustic guitar? I found an old Fender acustic that I’m trying to restore. Thanks Brad!

Great video ! Have you ever had issue with your clear doing strange things over the plastic binding ? If so how did you remedy ? Cheers !

As always, very nice work. Quick question, Can I apply clear coats over a guitar with already dried enamel spray paint? I couldnt apply the clear coats the same day and its already fully dry, Should I lightly sand it with 600grit for mechanical adhesion or sand the whole thing and start over? Im going for a relic finish after the clear coats are fully cured so not getting a top professional glossy is not an issue.

Hi ! Great video. What is the setup of your spraygun ?

Do most guitars get a clear coat after the binding has been scraped?

Hey sorry about saying something about a different product on your Channel I hope your other people don't get pissed at you
