I’ve started the finishing stage of Dan’s ergo axe- here’s the coloring steps. First pic is the Hofner guitar Dan gave me to reference as inspiration. It is a amber color with a slight sunburst, and the trim is in all black. I start first by applying a clear primer and cutting that flat with 320 sandpaper. This gives a super smooth surface to start the coloring. The pics pick up here, I continue by masking off the entire body except at the corners with motorcycle pinstriping paint and clear film. The body corners are then lacquered black, the masking is then removed and the edges are left with the binding effect. The body bevels are dressed black as well which looks really slick. The guitar will have a nice vibe with the black trim combined with all the black hardware and components. Then the amber color is sprayed in layers and darkened toward the edge. sweeeet. Next up clear coats!
