Epiphone ES-333 Tom DeLonge Signature - Paint & Burn (Tutorial)

Since I started doing this on my guitars, I thought it would be cool to do a tutorial video to show you guys how to paint and burn a guitar like tom delonge's style, I like it though, since the first time I saw it.
I hope you like it and PLEASE leave me a comment or any question down below, like and subscribe! Thank you so much for your patience! for those who were asking me when I would upload this video, THANK YOU.
And Thank YOU for all your support, I'll be back for the next improved cover...

I was hesitant about this until I saw the Blink tattoo, then I was like...yea, this is good, this guy gets it. Tom would be proud. pretty punk rock, can't hate that! Cheers

[@itsmeh1503]

That means a lot! Cheers!

[@Euthymia]

No criticism, I understand making a copy build of your favorite player's axe, but did anyone else watch the beginning and get the "before" and "after" pictures backward? I was thinking, wow, someone really trashed that thing and this guy did an amazing restoration job....

[@465marko]

Yep, I thought exactly the same thing. Then realised that nope, he actually is demonstrating how to turn a nice looking guitar into a piece of shit...Haha It's alright, everybody has different taste. There's nothing wrong with that. But I legit thought the "before" was the "after".

[@jasonsteuer2237]

I just ordered mine so glad you gave good clear instructions man !!!!! Sticking with white as a base and will figure out my own design...hoping to be able to bring to to my meet and greet and get it signed.

[@itsmeh1503]

Jason Steuer whoa dude, it means a lot man! Don’t forget to share that with all of us. Thanks a lot Jason! 🤘😎🔥

Hell yeah I wanna do that also. I have an actual Tom Epi that’s been in the ER for a cracked neck twice now.. be careful with that shit

[@jasonsteuer2237]

[@number11even41]

tom delonge literally did the same thing to his guitar and everyones complaining at you for doing it i think it looks great and better then the original

[@itsmeh1503]

Yes!! He did the same thing so, I’m not concerned about what I did. I’m happy with this project and still looking good. No doubt. Thanks!!! ❤️

[@justinTime077]

Right? It looks SICK, and these people that have no idea what fun they’re missing out on in customizing their shit themselves. Toms guitars are some of the most original I’ve ever seen with how he modifies them!

[@dgenerated]

Pretty killer job and thanks for the video, you gave me a lot of ideas!. I plan on doing something kinda similar, but putting my own spin on it and also on a completely different style guitar, but your video has given me a starting point.. I think it turned out great!..

True.

Don’t do it at home then. Save up your money.

[@justinTime077]

I guess you’re the type to pay Gibson extra for cosmetics

[@Borax15]

this looks awesome what do you mean

[@brianbeattie4358]

When you sprayed the white coat? Did you let it dry between layers? Or did you just keep spraying until it was covered, all in one go? Thanks!

[@itsmeh1503]

I sprayed one layer and then let it dry overnight before I put the rest all in one go.

[@ethandennerle9612]

There’s no need for taking the hardware out right? I’m only asking because I’m planning on doing this to my 335, also did you have to sand the original paint job to give the spray paint something to hold on to?

[@itsmeh1503]

Not at all... I painted over the original layer that’s it.

[@Borax15]

Id reccommend filling the f-holes up with news papers and taking the bridge and knobs out but the rest you can just tape over

[@ShaneBryson]

Did you go over the whole body again with a flat clear or something after it was finished?

[@itsmeh1503]

Yeah, with a gloss clear protector.

[@ShaneBryson]

Can you tell us what brands of paint and what kind you used? Great job dude

Great job man, although i would really recommend tapping also de back cover, because those screws may be stuck in there, but great job.

Sergio Gutierrez hey thank you so much! -Yeah! It was covered by its protector and removed it after it was painted... that’s what I thought after painting it and I remembered that it was covered 😂 😅 Thank you tho! 🤘🔥

No offense but those Epiphones are like $1,000 now, if your gonna do shit like this learn how to actually spray paint first and then not do it on a rare guitar to begin with, do it on a replica or another 333 or 335
