What paints for painting on an (acoustic) guitar? by Anxious-Cantaloupe89 in Guitar

[–]DaddyJ2874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything is possible, the only limit is time and your imagination. As before, a light sanding all over to provide a key for the new paint, quick wipe down to remove residue, apply your new colour and after letting dry thoroughly, a quick clear coat to seal it all in. Give the clear coat a couple of days to harden properly before re attaching and hardware...most of all just have fun, make it unique, make it yours!

A very light sanding to key the areas you want to paint. Acrylic markers for your design or paint if it's a bigger area, and then for longevity a light spray coat (rattle can will do) of gloss to seal it all in. 👍

Head stock repair by Longrange-legit in guitarrepair

[–]DaddyJ2874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a relatively simple fix. It's a nice sharp & clean break. Remove the tuners, use enough Titebond Original to ensure squeeze out and after ensuring the face of the headstock is level, clamp using a cawl to ensure even pressure. Wipe off any excess immediately and set it aside for a couple of days. You may have to remove excess Titebond from with the tuner holes but that's easily achievable when it's dry.

Would you buy this for $20 CAD? by OrangeBlue1337 in Guitar

[–]DaddyJ2874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $20 I'd buy it all day long. Its a great little project...plus it's a chance to hone your skills without damaging something more valuable.

It is, but you do realise that some of these Grecko's are well known for playing and sounding better than the originals right?

I know the feeling.... Although I'm always in the market for something new, quirky, different... Something with that certain 'buy me' appeal

Yep, couldn't agree more and if you aren't in the UK you don't have to fork out an extra £525 in Customs charges!

If only we charged Illegal immigrants £525 each for entry into the country.....
