Forced myself to kickstart 3 paintings tribute guitar

Forced myself to kickstart 3 paintings tribute guitar

Some of you may remember this VIP body I have show , 5 years ago? Nothing have done except  Heel Contour .

Also 2 Extra Light Weight Roasted Swamp Ash , buy one from 3 years ago another 4 months ago.

Why nothing have done for 5 years ?

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator MIX of Designer/ Artists / Engineers etc .

The problem is when you think about too much how make step 6 better, so you can’t have fix step 2, then step 1 never happened.

Then inspired by this guy , so just start step 1 whatever you feel inspiration now , then step 2 /3 /4 will come naturally.  

So here are the planing idea of 3 paintings tribute guitar / Jimi Hendrix , Lion Rock & Club 27

  

For better use my time when coronavirus outbreak made us home office and go out as little as possible.

First step is to lay down the dark background,  background is fixable, so just go experiment. Think about what to do on top of it afterward .

Step 1 : Play with fire and dye .

It’s been 50 years since Jimi Hendrix took the
world by storm with his incredible Monterey Pop
Festival performance, which he concluded with

the sacrificial burning of his now-iconic hand-
painted Stratocaster. Destroyed during the fiery

I started to paint after dinner. I only got time drew the pants. The twists are that my acrylic was bought 20 years ago. Many colors are dry. Change to pastel and mix materials.

How to protect the binding from the torch flame while roasting the wood grain?
Generally I choose to avoid using some binding guitar for Shou Sugi Ban , but Warmoth only do Carved-top for Double Lam Tops , since you ask , I try investigate the possibility.
I will test use Flame Retardant Tape/ Fire Resistant Tape protect binding , something like
https://www.scapaindustrial.com/ ... fire-resistant-tape

( do the test first before do it on guitar )

On edge of guitar , point torch flame in this direction short time repeatedly .
