Post subject: | Book: Guitar Finishing Step-By-Step @ Stew Mac |
I just received this book and took a very quick glance through it and all I can say is WOW! For a newbie like me it really is a treat! Not only do they go through the motions on how to spray a great finish, but the coolest part is that it gives many, many color examples of some of our "grail guitars"; Martin, Strat, L5, etc..... And then it goes on telling you exactly how to recreate that finish! It doesn't take much to get me going. I mean, I can sit with many different types of lutherie books for hours on end and feel like a kid in a candy store. But this one especially got me! Great gift to hint to your wife about around this time of the year. ![]() -John |

Get the DVDs too. And the Sunburst video. Problem is they really don't give you very much info on spraying technic in detail. |

Thanks Chris. I'm planning on getting the videos eventually. Right now I'm not doing any spraying anyway. Just wanted some fun reading. ![]() |

Yes, the book is great. I got the videos as well, but they didn't have DVDs at that time. Has someone done a toot on basic spray technique and/or spray booth set up? I could use it. How about UV cured poly? I've done some research on these topics, but nothing definitive. Danny R. Little |

Just got the book as a christmas gift. With only a cursory look so far, it seems to have a lot of info. Can't wait to dive into it. |
