Let us know how it goes!

Sure do!

Thanks🙏

It would be interesting to try but unfortunately I don't have the space/resources to attempt it myself

I accept all of the hugs <3

Just the way we like it :D

Cheers dude!

Cheers friend <3 Appreciate it!

I'm the bass player of Stormtide, Australian Symphonic/Melodic Death Metal :)

@@dropbearattack6152 Oh, no stuff! Cool. No wonder. I figured you had to be playing. I just never know if It’s cool to ask people. You never know, right? But, great! Glad to hear it man. Solid!

I’ve done the silver on orange and it has come up really good! If you look through my channel you’ll find an orange Guitar Hero controller (limited edition wooden body) that I’ve holoflashed! The small spots are generally due to imperfections in the finish. Since the material is so thin and the iron is solid even a mm of difference in the surface can cause those gaps to appear. With enough time and work you “could” cover it completely but traditionally the effect was done leaving the small gaps to break it apart. I won’t say whether or not it would or wouldn’t look bad because everyone has a different taste!

Thanks I appreciate it!

The bass in this one is a Spector Legend Classic 5. Comes with the standard Spector branded EMG and Tone Pump Jr. preamp. It is the burl top yeah!

Nothing past a basic setup honestly (strings/action) - there's no special wizardry happening!

What, how?

If the surface is "perfectly" smooth with zero imperfections and enough time is taken or a heat press big enough then yes it is possible. Very difficult but possible.

Hey there! A clear coat is not required but is possible. If you do plan on using a clear coat it needs to be shot out of a paint gun. Solvents in rattle can clear coats WILL destroy it. As always test your products before application for compatibility. Over time the Holoflash won't crack or peel off. I wouldn't apply it to a pick guard, purely because the heat will warp and distort the guard.

awwwwwwww yisssss

Cheers dude! I honestly had no idea what direction I wanted to take it in, it kind of just turned out how it did but it definitely gives me some sort of horror game intro vibes!

@@dropbearattack6152 Yeah, now that you mention it, I get it. But it still makes me want to mess around with a guitar too.

@@wasteddude9387 Do it! Theres no wrong way to make interesting sounds except by not experimenting! I used a combination of Helix Native with a bunch of free VST’s like Valhalla Supermassive and the khs compressor/tool kit

Thanks dude <3

Probably about 15 ish years - there's still so much I can improve on but I'm not overly strict on what I want to practice. Doing these covers though has helped me learn a few things though so as long as we keep learning - and most importantly having fun - it's a marathon not a sprint!

@dropbearattack6152 It looks real natural for ya. Sounds great too. I try to tell people, it's about the journey. Why would anyone plan the next 25 years if they only have 5 years left? And if ya got 25 years, why would ya try to get there tomorrow? If it's about the journey, then ya get there every day, donchya? LOL

It is possible! I've been sent photos of a person who did this. It was all done using a proper air compressor airbrush setup. I'm not sure how the crackle itself was done but it was done in a manner that didn't use solvents which can melt the flash. Clear coating is the same deal - water or oil based polyurethane should work but it cannot have any solvents in it - this rules out rattle can clear coats like Spraymax 2k which will melt the final finish. Like always, do test pieces first to test compatibility.

@@dropbearattack6152thanks for the reply man! I actually dm-ed you on ETSY. Btw, May I know how many sheets would I need to buy to entirely cover a strat styled guitar body? Thank you

@@danaaron5883 I’m sorry for the lack of response. Etsy hasn’t been giving me notifications for some reason so I’ll have to see what is going on there. 2 strips should cover a stray style body. Naturally if there is a pick guard there is no need to do underneath the pick guard because it’s going to be covered anyway, but two *should* get you all the way there

Hey so these guitar pedals are what I’m using to change the sounds. The order goes from right to left First is the Boss CS-2 compression sustainer Next is the Morley Power Fuzz Wah Classic (PFW-2) which is the wah with fuzz circuit inbuilt Next the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer which is an overdrive pedal Finally the buffer boost is just a general volume boost, but it also slightly darkens the tone as well

@@dropbearattack6152what is the program your using and what is it for

Just the stock standard Spector branded SSD pickups with a TonePump Jr preamp!

Where did you go wrong in your approach?

@@dropbearattack6152, no iron. It's a, just right temperature one wants. I ended up doing a copper top today instead. Relic type.

I learned mine from a Guitar Pro tab too but I'm gonna listen to yours right now! I also added a little bit of an improv in the section where there's held notes just because I was feeling it ya know? hahahaha

Thanks <3

Cheers dude <3

Appreciate it my man <3

@@dropbearattack6152love to that!

It's up to you whether you decide to paint first or not - there are no rules in creativity! If you keep the guitar sky blue you'll see sections of that blue underneath the black/beam which might looks pretty cool. If you paint it black first you're going to get a lot less contrast on colour. I always recommend testing with some scrap pieces first. Usually I just buy cheap junk guitars from Facebook Marketplace for $20-30 that parents sell because their kids stopped playing after 6 months but yeah - definitely be creative and see what you can come up with!

@@dropbearattack6152 THANK YOU!! Naw, man. I try to take the advice of the professional where I get the product. So you're the boss. I watched the video again and saw the size of the item, so I'm going to need to order more product if I want to do the whole body. I wish I could do the back of the neck, but it doesn't look like the foil has that satin feel. I bet it's not advisable to do the back of the neck?

Personally I wouldn't do the back of a neck for the pure reason that you're never going to really see it to begin with. You could potentially do it then clear coat it but it'll come down to personal preference. I prefer satin/unfinished necks to feel so not something I would personally do!@@wasteddude9387

@@dropbearattack6152 BINGO. Gotta have that satin neck. No substitutes. I just really like the pattern. (big sigh). I like your song choices. Just outta courtesy I gotta listen to some. Thanks for the feedback. Your past clients were right about you.

@@dropbearattack6152 Hey, you tear the shit outta that bass, donchya? Living Color had you playin bumblebee on those strings!
