I watched all three of these videos and I have never seen a more in depth guide on guitar finishing. Believe me, I have looked. Not only do Chris and Matt show you how to finish a guitar, but they explain how to do it with tools and techniques you would have as a hobbyist. Then they intentionally make many of the mistakes you might make as a first timer so they can demonstrate how to fix them. This series is an absolute gold mine of information.

This is why I love woodworking. I've been doing this for over a decade now, and have built a lot of guitars, and I still learned from this series. Woodworking is one of those things where if you stop learning, you need to move one. There's so much to learn and everyone does it different.

I’ve done five builds/refin’s from the ground up and kinda thought I knew what I was doing. But as they quoted/joked at the beginning, “you gon’ learn today!” I learned a lot with each of my previous projects, and yes, some of it was by trial and error AND learning how to correct those errors (after trying not to cry or destroying the whole piece out of frustration). I learned SO much during this series and I can hardly wait to apply this new knowledge to the next build. I guess it’s true that “you don’t know what you don’t know” …until you learn it. Many of the lessons taught in this series, I can truly say “OMG, been there, done that, already made that mistake”. Now I’ve learned some smart techniques on how to avoid certain pitfalls and make better builds smarter and easier than before. Patience is the biggie! Thanks Chris, Matt and Stewmac!

I am now painting my own guitars using Chris and Matt’s tips and tricks, and am having some exciting results - even as a relative beginner. Kudos to Driftwood and Stewmac for putting all this together - they seriously could’ve charged money for this with how good it is, but they didn’t, and it’s incredibly helpful!

I have wanted to refinish my guitar for some time, but I was afraid to attempt it. Other videos that I watched on KZbin were unclear or confusion and left me more reluctant to try it. Other videos that I watched were clearly done by people that were just winging it and didn't really know what they were doing. But this video series was excellent and demystified the process breaking it down into the step 1, step2, step 3 process that anyone can follow. I am so impressed with these videos that I would like to download them so I will have them for reference. Great job guys, and thank you for the instruction. After watching these I feel confident that I can move forward and attempt to refinish my guitar.

For the DIY'ers I made my buffer out of an old swamp cooler that was headed for the dump. I took the 2-speed motor that spins the shaft at 450 and 650 rpm, the pillow blocks, shaft & pulleys and mounted them on a 1 1/2" piece of plywood. The only expense was the buffing wheels and plywood - actually 2 pieces of 3/4" laminated together.

I do prefer to wet sand with a sponge, not only is it lighter to the touch but when flattened creates that suction feedback to let you know the peel is knocked down. I do soak the whole sandpaper in water. Commercially sure i can see the Festool, but for demo purposes to a DIY crowd i probably would have shown wet sanding by hand. Having said that, great series, you guys all did a nice job and methodically took your time. And the “oops” moments are invaluable for encouragement!

I think that was the best finishing series I've yet seen on KZbin. I've been finishing for around forty years, starting with bike gas tanks and then trinket boxes and mostly thereafter my guitar builds. And I learned, with the same hard and often painful knocks along the way - ''' ...Tell me how I know?'' For sure. . My first sunburst paint finish was on a Flying V that I had to repair after a serious migrain-fuelled bout of 'Pete Townsend' Tourettes... That was the learning curve. The second was a sad Sunn/Musicman jazz bass, which I sealed using hand-brushed automotive grey undercoat - over a plywood body; the neck was maple, but the previous owner had ripped-out the fret-wires with a crowbar... So, reluctantly, I removed the original (really lovely) rosewood fretboard and fitted a stunning coal-black ebony slab, which remained fretless. . The final 800-2000 wet-o-dry stage prior to the top coat, I actualy undertook in the bath (the whole guitar) - naked... Yep, I actually sat in the bath with my bass and spent a couple of hours (with frequent hot-top-ups and the SO making me cups of tea...) cutting back the undercoat, listening to WYWH and Echoes... After which, the guitar was silky smooth... However, my skin was not and I had a grey tide mark around my middrift and 'parts' and the bath 0!0 But hey! If you're passionate about your work eh...? The final finish was a silk-matt (gunmetal) over the entire body and neck. I finished-off with a carbon-fibre control plate and fittings are gold/brass hardware and brass rod side-fret markers, with a phos-bronze nut. The ebony fretboard came-up like glass... Electronics incorporated an active parametric and low Z pups. Stanley Clarke anyone? . Ultmately what I learned, as Chris rammed-home here, *preparation is all,* if you want a great looking guitar without breaking the bank balance. And most of my work is still done by hand, though for some reason my right arm is exactly the same size as it was forty years ago. . So everything in this series really resonated with me. WELL DONE DRIFTWOOD & STEWMAC! That was really enjoyable to watch.

What I've learned is that Patience and Knowledge ( the actual science behind the process) are paramount to success...Hats off to Matt for being all of us want to be guitar painting professionals in this process. I have a feeling that he is much more astute than he portrayed in this video...You the Man Matt!!! You guys have inspired me to give it another go...Chris and Matt, Thank You So Much!!!

I have learned a lot about the guitar painting and finishing technique you guys presented. This is a new hobby for me, and I have already made a few mistakes but learned from them like you mentioned. I don't know how you feel about this, but i bought the Larger 24 oz Rustoleum clear gloss spray can with the turbo spray system. I had to get used to it cause it's easy to overspray and cause's runs. So, I used this for the first time, and I did create runs. I corrected them and basically started over. Had to be fast on the sweeps. The fan is up to like 10 inches and covers more area. I'm on my 9th coat right now on a repaint of a Squier Strat with a Krylon Textured Dark Bronze metallic paint. Painted the body 2 times over black and it covered great. Lightly sanded the textured paint to a smooth finish before applying clear coat. Well, just wanted to thank you guys as ive been going back and forth reviewing your techniques. I really enjoy this and to offset the waiting time a little, I have two projects going on at the same time just like a week or so separation time. It's getting to cold to continue the painting so i will have several more weeks to complete these projects. I did not work with the necks any. but I will maybe later. Thank you, , and Stewmac for a great presentation. Steven Brown

Nearly perfect. Only things I would've done differently would be to keep the headstock all maple colored and, while that color of blue undoubtedly looks amazing in person, I think a darker color might've been easier to see on the videos. You guys are awesome! Thanks!

Chris is great at describing what he is doing and why. He needs his own show! Thanks for these videos!

These videos are fantastic. Chris and Matt, you guys should open a school. Thank you so much for adding the mistakes and showing us how to correct them along the way. I hope you can do more videos for StewMac

Great job, Matt, for being such a good sport. Your mistakes are the same ones I know I’d make and so it shows me what to watch for.

Great job, guys! This video series is really impressive work. While most of us will never build an acoustic guitar, virtually everyone can build an electric guitar kit and follow these instructions to get a great finish. Thanks Chris and Matt!

I splurged and bought the Griots buffer. No Amazon knock off will do. Now I just gotta take a deep breath and just do it… I love Griot’s attitude: “Are you ready to have fun in your garage” ✌️

an amazon buffer works just fine its all about how fast it spins and if it has enough torque. If you like spending more than you have,by all means enjoy your overpriced buffer
