Hey guys! I’m Brad, and I make how-to videos. I do custom painting projects, guitar painting, airbrushing, spray can painting, wood working, and a variety of other finishing work and tutorials. Please subscribe and check out my channel for more!

This is our next guitar painting project in the lineup. I would like to extend my thanks to Theodore Bearer for selecting me to do this. This guitar is of special significance to him and I'm looking forward to getting to work on it.

As you will know from the video, this guitar is getting a custom red paint job which will be in a color slightly darker than a standard crimson. The color will be custom mixed, and the light binding will be kept the colour that it currently is.
Before we get to the painting stage, there are some interesting filling needs on this guitar. There are some gaps around the binding that will be filled with transparent adhesive in order to further solidify the bond between the guitar body and the binding. This will also prevent me from covering any of the binding  with oddly coloured fillers.
The binding also protrudes significantly from the edges of the guitar, but since it is so thin I can't sand or shave it down to match the profile of the rest of the instrument.
Since filling the sides entirely would not be feasible and would likely effect the tone of the instrument, I will be using a different method to alleviate this issue. I will be putting on a thick layer of clear coat as a sealer and sanding down the binding area. This will reduce the severity of the ridges formed by the binding.

Don't forget to ask your questions or submit video questions if you want to show me something.
