Cheers bud. Spray gun. Devilbiss GTi with a 1.8 fluid tip fwiw.

I've only just noticed that comment, how in Christs name do you manage to paint with such a large tip??? I started using a 1.4 and over the years went down and down until I was happy with my Devilbiss SRI Pro with a 0.8 tip, I honestly couldn't use a larger one I'd have no control over the volume of paint. Have you always used that size tip? I know you do Car painting too, so was it a case if that's what you got used to?

Gibson should contract you all their burst work @Deadpan. Stunning is barely adequate to describe your work.

Deadman

I've used a 1.8 for as long as I can remember, so 28 years.  I've sprayed anything from a medium sized aircraft down to screw heads (with a tiny spot fan, good enough to write your name) just by reducing the fluid flow and if needed the air pressure. For bigger stuff I'd use an airless kit or 2 litre pressure pot so I suppose this has always felt small to me!

Cheers Rocker. Been in this game a long time and guitars are a pleasure to work on. Deadpan. Ha!

I'm not a flame top and sunburst fan... but that looks 1000000 times better than that god-awful white.

I wish guitar makers would embrace the fact that wood isn't perfect, and having a knot or similar 'imperfection' makes it look real and to my eyes at least, looks *better*.

Good job mate.

I keep looking at the white one and thinking will it look awesome and yellow in 20 years but when I saw this respray I have to admit its an awesome job and stuff the white burst. 

Really well done love the burst

Also meant to say I might of missed it in the thread was the yellow base sprayed on as coloured nitro or as aniline dye as I have a Les Paul to do later in the year.

Very kind and agreed on the knot saga.

Just yellow stain mixed with the nitro bud.

Good work fella looks great 

Deadman

Thanks man.

boogieman

 That's a stunner, very nice work.

Interested to hear the pickup covers have changed the tone for the better, I'll have a go at putting them on my Sig T.

Deadman

Cheers @boogieman. One warning if you don't already know. The Classic 57/57+ set requires 2 neck covers, not a neck and bridge. 

telestratjazz

Fantastic job there!I have gold top sig T and don't want change,but what is about pickup covers,don't understand?

Deadman

They can apparently change the tone. I didn't expect any change but it's tightened the sound right up for the better.
