As we move full force into the world of custom built and custom painted guitars, we have decided to give them their own forum! Guitar builds and finishes will be documented here.
Wanted to finish a guitar for myself as kind of my own "tribute twist" without a pickguard of steve vai's "Green Meanie" guitar, I know the cavity looks red but it is neon pink:1b: When the pickups come in I will slap it together and send more pics:sailor:
I see several guitars- some of Mike's also, where the paint scheme flows right across the pickups, and I was wondering if they are painting with the pickups in place, or very carefully making it match up? Also wouldn't they have to be removed for wet sanding and buffing?.. I am a guitar newbie just...
Mike is staying busy in the wood shop and just finished this instrument yesterday. He took the "looks" part of the custom guitar to the extreme, without sacrificing anything in playability. Looking for a way to make a monster out of the last few pieces of Koa in his vast wood collection, this...

Hey Mike and forum members, My brother gave me an old guitar face that he had stripped down to bare wood. What is the proper steps to paint this? I don't know if I should use a clear wood polyurethane, scuff, primer then paint. Any suggestions? From what I have heard if you do it wrong, it...

Ok, first of all I want to say hello to everyone. I´m a fairly fresh member from Finland and I´ve been airbrushing occasionally for almost a year. So...this is my very first attempt trying to do something serious. I used Auto-Air paint and my brand new Mojo(some monster you created Mike...)....

This is the custom guitar that Mike finished for a customer last week. This is a modified version of the famous Randy Rhoades V. It is really a beautiful instrument.... not too fancy on the art, but the craftmanship is outstanding! Thought you might enjoy it!
This is the latest custom build from the LearnGuitars Studio!! Built to be a shredder - a utilitarian "beat-the-snot-out-of-it-keep-it-simple" guitar. It has a ton of sustain, great playability and the looks to back it all up. SPECS: 24 Fret F.A.V. (Full Access V) Style Maple...
