Yesterday i was talking with some luthiers about this and they told me that there are lots of factors to keep in mind when you’re repainting an electric guitar, its not the same to repaint a Les Paul than a Stratocaster… its all about the wood, its not the same to paint alder than mahogany.

I was looking for a good guitar painting course and i found this one: Paint Your Own Guitar, its a cool collection of books about guitar painting created by John Gleneicki, who has been painting guitars professionally for over 25 years. He’s a former Guitar WORLD Columnist and has done custom work for such elite companies as ESP Guitars… so he knows about this!

In his course he explains how to paint your own guitars step by step, with lots of pics and explanations so it’s very easy! He has cool books to teach you how to paint your guitar with Camoufagle, Zakk Wylde’s Bullseye, Tiger, Hot Rod and EVH style with factory finish just using spray cans!
