Have you tried playing with staining the wood as well to see if you can make the contrast pop more? Or can you burn it "hotter" to give it more contrast? The mahogany body doesn't look that bad to me, it's just more subtle. It's all subjective to personal tastes...

[@hed420]

Where do you get the guitar bodies from?

[@barrychristian4050]

What's cooler than cool? AI art lasered guitars cool!! 🤯

[@davedavem]

Wow! My KZbin and Instagram feeds are saturated with XTool stuff and have been for months, and this is by far the best thing I've seen!

[@robertbaker5445]

Take the image design, and create a template that creates color blocks. Use those blocks as guides to lightly stain the wood different colors. If it worked, once the design was burned in, it would become the black portions of the image, and everything else would be in color.

[@TheM00ndawg]

flood the mahogany body with a coloured epoxy, then level it back?

[@griffsimcox9459]

oh man a coating of tung oil would make those pop :)

[@the_chocolate_teapot2156]

Be interesting to see how it wood (sorry) on a painted body

[@saulgoodeguitars]

Looks amazing, now if I only I had the space for it

[@tweakrr99]

Pretty cool! For the necks do you need to have a rotary system or the xtool can still handle the curved neck with it laying flat?

[@MrVKnows]

Hey man loved your video. Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share the Tele mask with me? I'm trying to do this and am new to Affinity designer and it's driving me mad. THanks heaps!

[@MarkGutierrez]

yeah, no problem, hit me up on instagram. I'll share a link to the affinity file there.

[@eross21]

so i’m trying to figure out in creative space. how do you invert the image , so you determine what parts get burned away?

[@TheContext]

Gday from Australia. Your videos are top notch! Love the creativity and passion.

[@geraldlamothe6091]

Nice job!May I give a a valuable tip...Next time you do an engraving do 2 coats of wood sealer (let dry 30 minutes between coats)lightly sand, dust off and pre stain your wood with the color of your choice...Then burn and be mesmerized by the effect...I have been doing guitar body engravings for over 3 years and this is the best way to do it.I even do acoustic guitars. Cheers!!!

[@CMC-NFG]

Hey Mark, do you still have the body "maturing" outside in the garden? Must be due for an update?

[@MajorGRecording]

Wow, just think of all the variations of paint, stain, and colored epoxy that you could do over this process! Reminds me a bit of making print art.

[@ChadwickRider]

So rad!!! Thank you for sharing the process Mark

[@frankwirt]

Those are awesome. The one you liked best looked like you pried that wood off of 100 year old barn door! So much detail.

[@numbersabcdefg]

You also use a very light layer of olive oil to crisp up and lines before engraving

[@numbersabcdefg]

3:17 the one with the snake near the boarder FTW!! ❤🎉

[@thomaslthomas1506]

What would you charge to do this to a body?

[@theunholyguitaristofficial]

Not even a minute in and you lost me at using AI art. This takes art from actual artists that pour hours into their craft and steals pieces from other artists.

[@renula]

AI :( sadness.

[@hastesoldat]

Why do you guys have to witchunt every freaking artist. Nowhere is safe from those stupid comments.
