Everyone has to start something at one point or another perfection is not expected you have done a good job for it being a fun first project

[@MrEric622]

I like the end result, but I thought your first line was looking good. I saw a vid not too long ago where Billy Gibbons pinstriped a fan's guitar on the spot- and he just OWNED it. Maybe some black paint in addition would make the design pop. For a first attempt, I think you did well. Keep at it.

[@mindfall82]

I was thinking that too a thin black line would've made it pop!

[@periurban]

@@mindfall82 Billy used a pen, which seems like it would be easier. He certainly made a good job.

[@Frankyandhisguitar]

I like where you ended up and it came out nice but I’d definitely keep honing the craft. You have a good eye for pinstriping.

[@lone-wolf-1]

Pretty good job for the first time doing it! I like the final lines .

[@guitfidle]

Well that looks fun! I might have to give this a try. I think you did a great job, especially for your first time around.

[@SpiderStratagemVI]

I like it! First attempt is pretty cool plus, the fact you aren't afraid to try something new on a guitar is awesome 😎

[@XLBiker13]

First time viewer. You are a very brave man to attempt something as daunting as pin striping under the scrutiny of a KZbin audience. I'm impressed and you've got a great attitude. We got to watch the entire journey along with all of the mistakes and do-overs. You're an honest man with a great delivery. I'll be back for more. Thanks. Oh, I almost forgot - Nice job!! Very tasteful. Like every good guitar player you exercise restraint and know what notes not to play.

[@Steven_SK]

I think that is a damn nice first time out! I like the overall and your idea was good. I think the time just needs to be spent doing it to refine things. I do think that less is more and that is subjective as it gets. Nice job Ryan!

[@RobertNolan]

I think this looks really good for a first time, and I'm glad you didn't over do it because a strong solid color like this only needs a little trim!

[@Colhogan06]

This was a great way to get some practice at doing this. Who knows, you keep doing it, and eventually someone will be paying you to do this for their guitar. This is how things can happen, unexpectedly. Back when it was cost effective to build your own computer, I went to college for computer networking. It turned out, that building a computer was one of the semesters. So I made one for my Niece. Coincidentally, that led to me building one for my son, for Christmas, and it just snowballed from there. The next thing I knew I was making pretty good money building computers for people as a side job. Eventually it became less cost effective to actually build one so the jobs started fading, but it was something for several years. Pinstriping a guitar could be a great side job. It shouldn't go out of style so you just never know. If there was a good pinstriper around here where I live, I would pay to have someone do it if they were decent at it.

[@sonicpickups]

Excellent work!

[@munta1967]

Doesnt matter if its not perfect, its your one off original by your own hand! good job m8 :D As usual, I Really enjoyed watching another of your uploads :)

[@henrystuart7736]

I like how you really make your guitars unique.

[@butchlauer]

Zen and the art of.....and when to stop. Mineral spirits are definitely a good thing. Cool to see expression in its purest level. Keep at it man you may be onto something.

[@leoz96]

Nice job 👍 love your finishing vids

[@tomshigoka4386]

Turned out pretty good man!

[@mindfall82]

That's really cool man! I shake bad enough when I solder I don't think I could do that! Of course you are very artistic anyway I've noticed!

[@igortikho]

Ryan, you really have a taste man! Nice artistic vision 👍

[@stevenpeterson8444]

really impressed. looks great

[@music65605]

Hey I think you done a fine job for the first time. At the present time I am TRYING to pinstripe a Squier Tele that is Competition Orange color. I am using white and hunter green. I only have the back done, yet it is not perfect, I've had a blast doing it, and my band mates are impressed. Keep up the pinstriping....looks like your headed in the right direction. Over time you will gain skill.

[@thehansongoons8975]

I would say that we are often our own worst judges, but you make KZbin videos so clearly there are more harsh ones. Nice job man!

[@bedroomstudios2614]

10:20 I really liked the pinstriping at that point, the lines are not perfect but it looks very styley! The half moon shape that you added at the bottom would have looked great without adding more stripes.

[@wheresmyelvis]

That looks pretty good man.

[@Taallyn]

That was a good start. The guitar color goes well with the surfy pinstrip vibe. Maybe it needs wings like a 60s Caddy now.

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Nice job !!

[@junglemast3r]

I just recently pinstriped a midnight blue shecter with black and white evh style stripes and it came out good

[@frankbrou7971]

I enjoyed your video. Great attitude and solid results. Old school pin stripers would say no line can just end alone. I think cream and gold would suit that mint green.

[@jacksolomon451]

This was very interesting to watch!

[@guitarfreak521]

Dude it looks great at the 3:24 mark. You did great!

[@motorrebell]

It looked perfect - Awesome at 10:15 ! After that it was just "Too much - Overdone" for my taste , But for a beginner your doing an Awesome job - just needs patience ! Sometimes less is more ! Im a Pinstriper - Signpainter myself with over 10 year experience , Have done many Guitars - instruments - Coffins - Motorcycles - Cars etc ! Love your channel - Subbed ! :-)

[@swordofhonor2]

the final product looks good.

[@niclastname]

1 I'd love to see you do more of this! 2 I think it would probably help a lot to disassemble the guitar first to make it less constricting to work on. At the very least removing the neck, strings, and bridge would be easy and make a big difference.

[@CONEHEADDK]

A fast striper can do it in a few minutes. Using tons of time dismantling would just ad costs. Better to practice getting around things - or redesign the lines.

[@niclastname]

@@CONEHEADDK Taking off the strings is seconds with clippers, and the bridge and tailpiece slide right off with no strings holding them on. The neck is just a couple screws. It's not "tons of time". Excluding the neck, we're talking about seconds. The neck is also 30sec to a minute _tops_ if you're using a powered screwdriver.

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@niclastname I can't see, how that would make anything much easier, unless the pin striping was going to be very close to the strings or under them. And I wouldn't dismantle anything, unless there is a good reason for it. You never know, what you might run into in form of weak screw holds aso.

[@74dartman13]

Cool! You're giving me ideas!👍😎🎸🎶

[@joshuavdw7480]

Do more of this please❤️

[@dennismoes7281]

Not bad. You can use a stick like signpainters use to rest your arm on an helps with keeping it in the right angle

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Dr RyanStein how about getting one of those Guitar skin wraps with snazzy graphics on it?!? I see them on eBay & amazon. Keep on keeping on brother!

[@picksalot1]

I like it. Looks much better than the plain green.

[@villapinstriping]

This was entertaining! I felt every nervous move you made as something I feel all the time. Id love to Pinstripe one for you if you're interested in a collaboration. I just accidentally stumbled upon your page while scrolling. I dig the vibe

[@josephmcguiness6452]

I liked a few of the designs but I'm pretty satisfied where you ended up. How about a relic job on the barritone?

[@60CycleHumcast]

I’m thinking about fully stripping the baritone

[@Big-A-Russel]

I think if I try something like this I'm going to build a stand for the guitar so it lays flat with it's neck supported and maybe mount it to a Lazy Susan in order to move the guitar as apposed to myself. I can tell it had to be a pain moving around and keeping the lines the way you want them to be.

[@melvinthompson4323]

Very cool video and content thanks for posting!😎👍🏼❤️🇺🇸

[@jcd13able]

I really like it. I even liked the ornament you did in the center of the guitar but later you erased. I think the key to pin striping is to make the line edges nice and smooth like real pinstripes.

[@simmonphoenix3206]

For a first attempt that was pretty impressive. Some lines got a little wild but in the end it turned out good.

[@hellogreg1973]

you did good buddy

[@davidkastin4240]

It looks good.

[@WhiteTParty798]

A dark natural finish on the baritone would look really cool w a black headstock

[@honter.lobster2290]

Not that bad. You should definitively pim stripe de baritone, it would look awesome. Greeting from Venezuela

[@waynegram8907]

What kind of pinstripe paint did you use? and does it dry on the guitar and not come off or do you have to put a clean coat on top of the pinstripe paint?

[@yohanonshine4664]

Less is sometimes more, I would buy that , it's cool to dip brush in red then yellow and paint flames

[@JoshuaFraserK]

You should do that to the Grote and add a bigsby.

[@livefromadive6751]

I've heard the best practice for pin-striping is to work on glass. Paint, play, razor it off and start over.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Yeah I need to get some glass to practice on

[@livefromadive6751]

@@60CycleHumcast dollar store or thrift shop for picture frames

[@glenndavis479]

@@60CycleHumcast Personally I have never looked up vids of pin stripping although I watched a guy do some on a hot rod once...as far as the glass to practice on which is something I never thought of the only thing that came to mind with that comment was shit it's see through so my addition would be to cut out cardboard or Massenet shapes of the guitars you might want to pin stripe and lay 'em under the glass to get a better visual representation of what you are envisioning as the final product. The only other thing I could think of would be to strip the guitar hardware when painting and then you will have a flat canvas to shred on if ya know what I mean.

[@Bovineicide]

I really dig the end. You should get another donner and let your kid paint it

[@element4studios]

You did a good job of just attacking the project. There are things you can do to make it easier though. ;) You need to adjust the setup so you can always be pulling the brush towards yourself while making those marks. This will allow you to lock your wrist up and keep your movements at the shoulder and elbow. That adds grace to the lines as you apply them. Think of the marks kinda like you're practicing martial arts... You want long, sweeping motions while you are putting the paint on something... Graceful and sweeping movements that start well before where the brush hits the surface, and sweeping after the brush pulls away. Trying to do that while sitting down, and trying to get it on cam, makes it a lot harder than it can be. :) Good luck!

[@mattswartzentruber9661]

As someone who has striped as a hobby for the past 10 years, you gotta stripe like Bob Ross painted, happy mistakes. Pinstriping was to cover blemishes or poor craftsmanship in the 50s and 60s. I haven't gotten the chance to strip a guitar, but that is definitely on my bucket list to do.

[@sassycat]

Keep at it, you will eventually get to that point where you won't want to start all over again.

[@spottedsaint957]

I think the Donner would make a nice sequel to the Epiphone Les Paul SL II that you modified and tossed off of a bridge a while back. Put a wiggle stick on it!

[@stephanematis]

Picked the same guitar up during Prime Day! Too good a deal to let it pass ...

[@samgwillym]

Use your pinky to follow though, it will help immensely

[@guitfidle]

I wonder if this would be easier if you had the guitar on a lazy susan type turntable.

[@BrentAdams]

I like it!

[@UNCLEBUFF]

Less is more, Stay Straight until you .... Straight run lines are more ok when you don't stop at all until the line is ready to end ( no stop and starts.)..The Piece behind the bridge added a nice depth to it.... and maybe a flowing stripes-like you have with some Wheaties around some thin lines that make out to be a ( G-Clef ) looking Pattern or something like that ???...get it ?

[@bb.6969]

Ryan i think you should go insane with the back of the guitar

[@hotrod54chevy]

I know this is an older video, but it's my first time seeing it. Ryan, are you a southpaw? I ask because you play righty so I was curious. Usually you wanna hold the brush in your dominant hand for more control. Like others have said, use an old mirror or a piece of glass to practice on. They say you should do a thousand lines before you even worry about doing designs just to get consistency and control down. But as long as you're having fun that's all that matters 🙂 I hope you're keeping it up as a hobby! You're doing pretty well all things considered and if you get repeatable results you're happy with, all the better! 🤘

[@60CycleHumcast]

i am left handed. I really need to pick up pin striping again, i was having fun but i havent done it in a few months.

[@Yuri_official_dad]

buy a cheap mirror and practice on that. but in an upright position. if you can pinstripe on glass, you can pinstripe on anything. Also stripe the guitar in an upright position as well after you practice on glass. takes a lot of time and always use your second hand as a brace/guide.

[@sethp8947]

Pretty cool for a first try

[@hughcrawford5]

Have you ever seen a sign painter at work, using one of those sticks with a rubber ball on the end as an armrest? Ever wonder why they do that?

[@BasementGuitarSuperstar]

you should do a skull and Crossbones on the squier baratone

[@xzivriel]

thinking about swapping pickups on my Squier cabronita baritone, any idea what could fit in there without too much hassle? apart from other P90 of course, was thinking about humbuckers. Maybe mini humbuckers?

[@davidkastin4240]

I was told they are not P90's, that they are Jazzmaster single coil pickups.

[@xzivriel]

@@davidkastin4240 no they're definitely P90s the non baritone squier paranormals have JM pickups tho

[@davidkastin4240]

@@xzivriel Oh I didn't know that. Squier pickups usually are good. Check the K output of the pots with a multimeter, maybe they are weak. Example; I replaced 2 250k pots in my guitars that read only 206 and 209. I replaced with one's that read about 240k and they are excellent now.

[@xzivriel]

@@davidkastin4240 oh I mean they're great really, they're just so noisy for the heavy stuff. For clean and a bit of dirt they sound absolutely fantastic tbh.

[@visje1996]

You need good 'swoeng' for this kind of job. It's a word my product drawing teacher used to say in my industrial product design studie. It's about the flow of your hand and arm, I can really relate to you trying it a lot of times and erasing all the time

[@NyaDxb]

White with gold hardware for the baritone tele :D

[@macewen1]

I recommend turning the neck so it points away from you and prop the guitar up so its at an angle to your body. Right now you are doing a lot of reaching across the guitar, over the strings, that's about a billion times more effort than you should be using to get to the area you want to paint. If you watch pin striping videos you almost never see them going over a line twice. You are getting some nice line weight and points though.

[@NikolausTea]

Looks great! Especially compared to the usual boring look of a les paul style body

[@skraegorn7317]

now I wanna do this on a seafoam Danelectro

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

Dude, I know ha you mean....like the tortilla lady at old town guadalajara grill....she makes it look so easy yet so hard......but so delicious lol 🙌🏻🌮😃 Btw: I've been inspired to pinstripe this old maestro Jr les paul ive been thinking of upgrading.

[@ravenslaves]

You can't go too wrong with Ed Roth, Von Dutch or Steve Paige (who has a youtube channel) when it comes to Auto/musical inspiration.

[@ofiosTINOS]

"...is knowing where to stop" !!!

[@periurban]

I think you made some nice patterns, but I wasn't really sure what the point was. Seems like even when it's done it's going to be sitting on top of the guitar finish. It'd be better if it was under the finish, part of the paint job from the start.

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

pinstriping is something that you dont want to go to fast and second more you push down on the brush when move it more the fatter lines you get

[@danpugatch]

Looks great to me, in my opinion car pinstripers go overboard and too busy. This leaves enough negative space 👍

[@JohnKelly2]
