Happy New Year Tomster. I really need to get myself one of the Savage Industries work aprons - better than the ratty overall I used to wear when doing guitar work, and way more useful. I'm surprised you have not fabricated a jig/ handle that screws into a pickup cavity to assist with painting. I think Texas Toast use that and Brad Angove has demoed a standalone that pivots and rotates. I like the new body shape and the paint really suits the unique contours. Also - 8 string Daedelus? Neck pocket looks super wide.

The Savage apron is amazing👌🏼 I do need to fix some of the stitching on one part though as my pens might fall through at some point. There's a fair few jigs for painting and honestly, if I had my own paintbooth I 100% would have a painting jig. But because I don't I have no idea where I would store it :/ The painted guitar is actually a collaboration with Filatone Instruments and is his design, been so much fun to make it as it is COMPLETELY different to what I normally do. And 8-string Icarus, 7-string Daedalus. The 8-string is the 30" scale length beastie

@@IPGuitars Most of the painting jigs seem to be made of a broom handle, plumbing pipe and a tripod stand of some kind. I don't think they take up that much room to be honest - search for Guitar Spraying stand on Brad's channel for a commercial one. I was wondering if the Filatone collab was going to bear fruit - looks great. 8 string Icarus does sound like it'll be beastly. Good luck with the rest of that build.

I know of the ones you speak of and I do think about them often. If I start doing more spray work, then I'll probably look into it a little more. But with sprayed finishes being somewhat few and far between right now, I don't count it a priority. I can manage a tired arm every now and then😂 And thanks!
