Guitar detailing

[Crazy Diamond]

As a musician and owning many guitars, I decided to try Wolfgang 3.0 and fusion, let me tell ya this rocked all my guitars, so some of my musician friends saw this and they were amazed, so I now detail guitars and drums at $50 for guitars and $75 for drums and it's very easy money, I tell everyone its a old family secret lol

I've buffed out number of guitars in my life and find it very rewarding.

You have to be careful for any acid etching from skin oils for extremely worn and neglected guitars.

It also helps to de-string and remove as much of any hardware as possible and then have the owner or someone strong hold the body while you do the buffing.

Mike Gelter is supposed to bring some of his Guitars down someday for some extreme makeovers...


Just a time thing...

Very true Mike, you must be very careful when detailing instruments,always d string and remove hardware, I would suggest not removing the pick ups on guitars though,nor would I suggest doing this on any collectible instrument, some very rare guitars cost more then a car. Guitars with most musicians have a extremely emotional value that no amount of money could ever replace. The last thing you would ever want to deal with is a unhappy musician when it comes to their instruments.Trust me on this one,I think I would rather scratch a new BMW lol

Not sure how to upload photos to any one thread, so here's some of the guitars in my avatar pic. If someone wants to explain to me how to make the whole pic thing happen, cool, if not rock on!

I've worked on a few guitars in my time but only ever got photos of this beat up Mexican Stratocaster body. Here's a before, a 50/50 and after. He wanted no wax on it so the after is with no LSP. It was a fun project I did for my best friend.

You want to talk about hard paint?? I think the paint on this thing was harder than Corvette paint.
