How to relic an acoustic guitar

[@CorMaestro]

Was hoping for maybe some custom sanding as well. Most of us don't have liquid nitrogen around the house lol.

[@sethyls7781]

I wonder if you can use an upside-down air duster

[@JamesHoodGuitar]

try putting the cold propellant through a fine nozzle this will help to control the area that you're hitting with that stuff narrowing it down.

[@JamesHoodGuitar]

Hi danilo, I haven't tried it on polyurethane yet however Its worth a shot. would you like for me to do a quick video shooting it on a Polly finish?

[@JamesHoodGuitar]

+James Hood Guitar Hey Danilo. i made a quick video trying this technique on a poly finished guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHmsdmiBi66Jb5o

The video is gone, did it work?

[@daniloscozzari2685]

does it work for poly finish as well? i have a epiphone hummingbird... What d'you think?

[@JamesHoodGuitar]

Rattle Shakti, i would have to agree with you on that but some of us are just impatient :0)

[@rodnyg7952]

how to destroy the top of your guitar and likely loosen the bracing, kerfing and molding all at the same time

[@yourmomsdildodrawer]

I was thinking the same thing. Also, pretty reckless with fingerboard area and soundhole.

[@baleksydon5471]

What is the molding? I don't know what that is on an acoustic.

[@rodnyg7952]

@@baleksydon5471 it's the same as the binding. Some call it moulding because the pattern follows the mould of the guitar body

@@rodnyg7952 I've been building acoustic guitars since 2001 and I never heard that term. Learn something new everyday!! Thanks Rodny.

@@baleksydon5471 my pleasure --ya man, i've been reparing these things for clients some 30yrs. too. I guess the term "moulding" or "binding" gets more usage depending on where one lives --keep on rockin' !

[@pedrovarunca2197]

I was more looking to make my guitar look older, but hey liquid nitrogen works I guess

[@holdenwill]

What are you spraying

[@JamesHoodGuitar]

Bryan Hopkins airbrush propellant. Turn the can upside down and it comes out freezing cold.

[@MindMetalworks]

how could you do this to an old gibson!!! Best way to relic a guitar is to play the shit out of it

[@rattleshakti]

Best way to relic? Play the damn thing!

[@TrashDaddy1]

Rattle Shakti can you explain this attitude to me I don’t understand it If you got the guitar and you want the look then fucking do it as long as it’s not my guitar who cares Why do people care if they get shit looking old

[@mr.gorgeous8354]

Horrifying

[@jaybarrslino9729]

Ty a ton I hate pretty guitars

[@joeygutierrez8930]

1965? You just damaged a piece of history for a trend? -_- You couldnt find something better to destroy

[@JamesHoodGuitar]

Joey Gutierrez I would have to agree with you if this was an original finish however, this guitar came to me stripped completely. The owner had me refinish and asked me to put an old style burst on the top but I can Appreciate your comment for the vintage when it’s all original.🙌🎸

[@lukehouselander8276]

Useless

[@sonyadempsey5154]

Totally agreed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I'll just wing it and get my sandpaper out. It's for an art project anyway. I can't hurt it.
