Wow, those pickup covers are impressive!!

[@georg-danielwellmann5817]

The relic on your guitars looks great and really authentic. Great job!💪👍 What is the exact name of the green acid, patina you use?

[@DrewsReviews07]

Nice work and thank you for sharing your tech

[@8BombCustom]

Thank you!

[@shoestringplayer106]

wow what a complicated process I'd just piss on the parts and leave it for 2 days then rinse

[@lousekoya1803]

Beautiful work !!..............scotched !

[@8BombCustom]

Thank you!

[@rveurope]

Can you also reverse that process and make metal parts clean and shiny?

[@dougmaia]

Great work!

[@shakespeariancopy3053]

Sir, did you let the patina dry? I put it on but as soon as I put it down in the photo fixer it goes away and looks brand new

[@8BombCustom]

@@shakespeariancopy3053 photo fixer need to be before ferric chloride.

The attention to detail is superb Actually would like to see you restore the fresco's as well Cheer's and glad you're getting noticed

[@joemcgraw5529]

cool process but im old school ,i take pride in making my 40 year old guitars look as new as possible ,but I guess if people like this than theres a market ,but i do like the way white binding ages to a yellow on old guitars ,thought you were going to relic to paint you put on it

[@Thomasdgolden]

Joe McGraw Not to mention all this wasted time aging a few parts.

[@connor_selby]

But modern parts will never look like this as they're made out of completely different materials.

[@nikolaibarbarich7887]

Some of us youngsters missed out on the cheap vintage guitars and who would pay 10k for a murphy lab

[@pedraw]

Question.............has the photographic fixer been used in the film development process or is it new fluid?

[@8BombCustom]

it's used

[@georg-danielwellmann5817]

Does it also work with unused liquid?

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

Letting a couple of cigarettes burn the headstock and putting them out on the body is a tried and true recipe to make any guitar look like it's been put trough numerous gigs in smokey bars in no time, so is putting the hardware in a bag and smashing it around for a bit. Aging the plastics and relicing the body in a convincing way, on the other hand is a bit trickier. Good job, dude

[@CJslingshot2010]

What are your thoughts on using vinegar for this process?

[@omgthemoon4060]

Dr.Nitro - Nice work! QUESTION: I was recently gifted an early 50's Gibson archtop - with exception to the tailpiece, all is original. I purchased a replica aged tailpiece but it is not 100% to my liking. (It's been sanded down here and there but...) Would you recommend a muriatic acid vapor bath & coarse scrub to further age the chrome trapeze tailpiece? What other method would you suggest? Thank you for the help! dmd

[@DeeneMuada]

any sound difference?

[@christopher.k.guitar]

Really nice video 👌 Would you mind writing down a short step by step guide for the order of the chemicals? It gets me a little confused half way through the video... for example, are you putting the small parts into the photofixxer before using the patina acid? Did I see that correctly? Greets, Chris

[@Валерич-е3щ]

Подскажите пожалуйста в какие растворы вы макали крышки для состаривания? Не разобрал на английском.

[@8BombCustom]

Хлорное железо и отработанный фотофиксаж.

[@Валерич-е3щ]

@@8BombCustom спасибо!

[@scheichi2000]

Wow, I like it that you even age those parts which will not be able to see after putting the guitar together.

[@SunnyKlein-vr7eh]

Damn.... that was sick!!!!!

[@marklaesch6273]

Are the covers chrome plated or nickle plated ?

[@8BombCustom]

Nickle

[@lemmy555]

What is “wasted fotofixage”?

[@8BombCustom]

Denny Mishler This is the liquid that is used to fix the image when printing photos from the film.

[@XLBiker13]

I'm assuming that by "wasted" fotofixage you mean old or used. Correct? Can it be fresh fixer that hasn't already been used to fix prints?

[@mgcnashville6615]

@@8BombCustom where did you find this fotofixage? Also, I’ve read that water and salt can be used as a fixer for developing photos. Would this be an adequate alternative to the fixer you used? And will any green acid patina work? Or should I use a specific brand? Thanks for your help! You’re the best relic artist I’ve seen online!

[@warwickkingmaker2035]

What is fotofixage? can't seem to find it's meaning in the internet. Great video!

[@walman16]

Slowhand III Im thinking photo developing chemical. Its call fixer. Dont know where you can get used fixer. Not too many photo labs anymore

[@ciri151]

I don't need all this. All I need is my sweat. My sweat is extremely corrosive. I'm talking that big screw that holds the tail piece is black... And every screw on my guitar is rusted completely brown.

[@8BombCustom]

Rock 'n Fuckin Roll you ar Acidman!))

[@ciri151]

haha

[@damon2a102]

I put my pick up covers in my ass crack while I'm doing P90X and they look incredible dark brown aged 👍

[@bishlap]

playing the guitar is the best way of relicing.

[@gabrielemazzalai8200]

t a yup, but you have to play it for years, if it’s an high end guitar, before it starts relicing... I bought an used Stratocaster a few months ago it is 10yo an it has been played a lot trough stages and it seems brand new

[@bishlap]

thanks, PK. I'm not a player anymore so I used whatever experience I had when making my statement.

[@bldlightpainting]

What awful noise is that playing in the background? It's definitely not music.

[@jebmcgovern3744]

Tastefully done

[@DavideSchachterJazz]

C'MOOOOON!!!

[@thomaspartin191]

I boil all of my Stratocaster hardware in vinegar and heavy saltwater for 15-20 minutes, then completely dry It off and reassemble everything. This solution etches the platings enough so after about a week everything looks uniformity rusted and oxidized naturally. Note: take out all saddle height adjustment Allen screws on fender guitars, and the tiny intonation screws on a Gibson bridge, otherwise they will rust making them inoperable.

[@therangersinger]

Thanks for the tip. I will try that. Will be starting my project whenever the rest of my parts arrive

[@ttestates1]

What the hell is "Wasted Fotofixage"?

[@8BombCustom]

it is a used reagent for fixing developed paper photographs.

[@raymondwhitford433]

Why why why? It only makes sense if you are preparing it only to be sold as a genuine relic.

[@Edgar-rs8lg]

Honestly, I find the reliced parts more pleasing to look at than brand new.

[@daniellaudman8580]

Muriatic acid fumes that's what I did with mine

[@NosferatusLair]

Did that method work well? How many days did you leave em in the tub?

[@craigpoole2602]

@@NosferatusLair it only takes a few hours on nickel parts. You have to take the shine off chrome parts for it to work well. Acid etching solution is also a great way to age metal parts. It works FAST so you have to be careful.
