LP Projekt - Part 1 - Sunburst

[@dunebillydave222]

So machen Sie es! Was für ein wunderschöner Ausbruch. Bestnoten dafür, dass er sich die Zeit und Geduld genommen hat, eine wunderbar subtile Farbtransformation vorzunehmen.

[@Lysdexia]

I'm stunned at the rubbing speed the guy achieves during application - starts slowly and in a matter of seconds he's up to breakneck speeds. The control demonstrated in acceleration/deceleration is also hugely impressive. Obviously practice makes perfect - bravo!

[@theariesexperiment4642]

Now that's a PROPER burst. The gradation is absolutely perfect. Looks natural and organic. Amazing job.👍

[@stratoleft]

It just looks like stain rubbed onto a guitar to me.

[@dalewoodring5887]

Gotta be honest. Half way through I was thinking "Stop!" But the end result is pretty wonderful. I probably would have preferred the blend he got half way through this, but it's subjective, I guess. Overall, I am very impressed. Thank you for sharing. Also, the music for this video was outstanding!

English Translation: Hi Guys, As part of my latest project, the replica of a 59 'Les Paul, here is the first part. Pickling the sunburst. To the body: One-piece in Khaya Mahogany, beige binding; Flamed maplet top made of Canadian maple 17 mm; Weight 2.5kg. I used colors from Stewmac from the USA: Colortone Vintage Amber, Orange and Red Mahogany. The basic tone is vintage amber, the darker edge is a blend of vintage amber, orange and red mahogany. More parts will follow in the course of the project. So, have fun watching. Comments and questions are welcome.

An absolute pleasure to see you work sir. A craftsman who puts love, care and personal satisfaction into what he creates. Beautiful !

Amazing flames! excellent job!

Outstanding dude Awesome finish 😁😁🤘🤘

[@CMDPromptify]

Oh yes. This burst is beautiful. Very tasteful.

Outstanding burst colors. Best Ive seen in a while.

[@FerrellRooster1]

Excellent work!! Looks better than factory. I have searched the web along with youtube for a guide as I am attempting to assemble, (NOT BUILDING) a kit, and this is by far the best video out there. Plus Vittorio sharing his expertise on procedure is so helpful. I don't expect to get a result anywhere near what he has done but even then it should be better than if I did not use this as a guide at all. THANKS MAN!!

Tolle. Das ist ziemlich genau das, was ich bei meinem ersten Gitarrenbau vorhabe. Danke für das Teilen!

[@andyt6191]

That top is AWESOME! FLAMING AND SUBTLE QUILT! As the colour builds it highlights the figure even more! GORGEOUS!

[@electricwally]

So beautiful! The deep center amber and maroon/blood red outer is my favorite color burst! Great work! When I add the outer red, I tend to move towards the center (just a little distance) as I go around. This helps me to avoid making a defined separation between the two colors. I want the colors to blend nicely as they move from red to amber. Just an application methodology that works for me. Your application method is interesting and helps us learn. Your results are superior. Best wishes and thank you!

[@jeffbeck6501]

Fantastic work.

[@genericjesus8803]

NICE!! I built a guitar much like yours (I tried to duplicate Slash’s guitar in Sweet child...), I used amber shellac and then top coated with epoxy resin. Factoid; the reason why wood takes on certain appearances/hues is because the darker (Tiger Stripe) wood is less dense than the harder surrounding wood so it soaks up more die. If you stain a ‘figured’ wood then do a fairly light sanding then denser wood gets lighter (has less color pigment) making the stripes look darker. I’m not sure if the ‘pros’ ‘airbrush’ the Maple top to enhance the coloration/stripes. Think of the ‘figured’ wood as a W (wave-like) knock the high spots off, you’ll leave the less dense areas darker. Then there's the darker-> lighter 2 dye method

[@daddygoalie]

Hello Vittorio. Can you share how you constructed your stand you used for spraying this absolute beauty? I am doing my first kit, an LP custom in tobacco sunburst and using your video as a guide to aspire to. My kit is a set neck and I’d like to spray my lacquer with the guitar positioned horizontally.

[@fabiomarchese8608]

My god, you know how to use the colors!!!!! I'll try to do the same..... Thank you

[@svengro5019]

Sehr schönes Video. Hat mir definitiv weitergeholfen.

[@FF-so3su]

Great. English subtitles would be good. Who is the background music? 🙂👍 I would have kept it as it was at 6.18🙂👍

[@mikebrady44]

Beautiful work - but no narrative as to what dyes you are using and how you are going from dark to lighter shades - water based dyes? and what liquid to lighten?

[@VittorioCentofanti]

The colors are faded in for the first 10 seconds of the video. The colors can be diluted with water or alcohol. The colors are rubbed on the wood from the dark to the light shade until an even transition has taken place.

[@derekjones208]

Lovely colours...nice job. I need to know who the soundtrack is now...I rather like that groove.

[@VittorioCentofanti]

Thank you. You can see the music that I've been using in the video description.

[@jeffwest4325]

Wonderful! The last layer seems to have a third color (jar to the left side of screen, starting at about 11:30 into the video), what color was in that jar?

[@VittorioCentofanti]

It was a mixture of Orange and Red Mahogany.

[@a.b.b.181]

Ciao! Lavoro bellissimo. 2 domande , hai passato qualche prodotto turapori prima dell impregnante? Quando applichi la vernice in questione, poi sfumi le tonalità sul taglio , come fai ? Grazie

[@lory1412]

Vittorio, gran lavoro, potresti indicare i passaggi anche in Italiano? Che prodotti hai usato? Ancora complimenti.

[@jeffjohnson1547]

thanks so much for the reply on the pigments and mixing ratio. 1 more questions: what was your sanding regimen and what grits did you use for each sanding?

[@VittorioCentofanti]

the grit I used for sanding was 240 and 320 grits.

[@james4878]

Looks excellent. So what do you use for a topcoat? And do you hand apply the topcoat or do you spray it?

[@VittorioCentofanti]

I use nitro cellulose laquer as topcoat and I spray it. you can see it in part 9 till 11.

[@David-yl6bc]

I don't know why, but to it looks like the truetint/colortone dyes always lead to better results than other tints.

[@batisthm]

Dear Vittori can you advise on the mix for the stains you used fot this job? I've ordered exactly the same colors, after you project. Thanks for any you help can offer.

[@VittorioCentofanti]

hello Hugo, for the first layer you will sanding down i've used Red Mahogany and Orange. The baselayer is only Vintage Amber. For the Burst I used a mixture of Red Mahogany and Orange.

Hallo Frank, this is only available in german. This was no kit. I bought the body and neck by a german luthier. Look here: www.gitarrenbastler.de/. All the other parts I bought in several shops.

[@gabriluffy]

I have a question for you, can you please tell me, if necessary apply a wood sealer before painting? Excellent videos, Greetings from Costa Rica.

[@VittorioCentofanti]

There is no wood sealer applied before painting. For this method it is not necessary.

Stewmac's colors are ColorTone Liquid Stains. At the end the body was coated with nitrocellulose lacquer.

[@EmilSchmitt-Raiser]

Welche Art von Farbe verwendest du? Also Wasserlöslich oder was anderes?

Is that a low tax yield tape? I’m struggling on which tape to use before my stain. I would also have put some red in with that yellow. That would have really popped!!

[@allenhrubes8598]

I'm getting ready to start an L.P. project of my own. The results are great...would be nice if the words on the screen were in English...I'd love to use this video to help me in the application of stain colors and in what order they are used.

[@richardnolan3903]

I had a German to English website open in the next tab while watching. All he's saying is first layer, second layer, after sanding....etc. Nothing you cant figure out by watching

[@coldkissofsteel]

Are you diluting the dye or using it undiluted from the bottle?

[@VittorioCentofanti]

I used the dye diluted with water.

[@electricwally]

Vittorio, I always worry that using water stains may open the center seam on the bookmatched maple cap (ever so slightly)? I'm assuming you used a water based glue to join the two halves of the maple top (titebond glue)? Water stains are clearly the most beautiful and longest lasting compared to alcohol stains (from what I've read). I mostly work with veneers and curious what your thoughts and application processes are on using water stains over the center seam of the maple cap. I assume you use very little water/dye on each cloth during the process and avoid soaking the top? Awesome video! Thank you very much.

[@csirkedaniel]

What kind of paint did you use?

At 6:00 are you applying the orange or the red mahogany for the burst? Beautiful work!
