Glam Up Your Acoustic Guitar

Ever had that mood that you want to strip off your own acoustic guitar and make it a little bit more personalized and fashioned the way you like it? Well, welcome to the club! You are not the only one who desires to put in their style on the on the design of their own guitars and make it become more "you."

Well my buddy, you’ve arrived at the right place, allow me to impart with you a number of steps in how to accomplish just that!

Primarily, before you do something else, ensure you have the these:

• Wet/dry sandpaper (320 and 1000 grit)

• Clear coat or lacquer

• Spray paint (desired color)

• Water

• Clean paper towels

• 6 new guitar strings

Now that you have the needed things, let’s get down to the matter.

Initially, dismantle the guitar so it is possible to easily go on make it news it. Unwind and loosen the guitar strings so you can remove it from your gutiar’s pegheads or tuning pegs. remove all your attached accessories getting in your way of the redesigning. Which means the pegheads too.

Next, sand it down! What is left now is actually your basic guitar body. You have to strip its clear coat off by making use of your 320 grit sandpaper. It is best to wet the sandpaper as you sand your guitar down. Keep sanding until the guitar loses its glow and gets its flat color. Sand all those scrapes and shine away so that your brand new paint you are going to put on your guitar will stick.

Third, it’s time to paint away. After all the sanding, it is now time to put on paint. Paint light coats after another. It is up to you just how many coats you desire but do it gently in the beginning. You may paint it thickly on the last coat. Keep in mind to place your guitar flat while painting or else it will drip and you may have to sand it over again.

In addition, for the period in-between, while you are waiting for your paint to dry, it is possible to start cleaning the tuning pegs and checking the guitar strings if they're broken or not.

Fifth, it is time to polish! As soon as your paint has dried off on both sides of the acoustic guitar, it is now time to give the acoustic guitar a gloss. It's now time to put on the clear coat. You may also use clear coat or lacquer, however if you want the quick dry one, I suggest the clear coat. Do thick but level coats. If there are still marks on your guitar ensure to get them off before applying the clear coat. Again, it's up to you how many coats you put. After you are finished on a single side, do not flip it over just yet. You can devise methods to accomplish both sides without having to place it down on the ground while waiting for your clear coat to dry. To prevent drip marks and scratches when its completed, you can sand the guitar down with your 1000 grit sandpaper in between coats.

Now that the painting is all completed and dry, you can now start reattaching the pieces you took off cautiously while appreciating the brand new guitar.

So, what are you waiting around for? Strip off your guitar and furnish it a brand new cool look!
