WOWIE!!! Just watched part 2.... Amazing to see that gorgeous work of art unfold! On a 12-string Comstock, no less.

Finally got a chance to play one last weekend at the Milwaukee confluence, and now I've really got a hankering for a 12-string Comstock....

Great job! Now off to watch the second vid!...

Second one is very enlightening. I was all set to see the purple make it pop and then it was over! Next installment.....

Alot of people say that you make it look easy, but I think you make it look impressive. The way you taper the shades of color on the corners, headstock, and so-forth makes it all very personal. It makes me wonder about the guy who painted the burst on my guitar in 1980. I wonder where that guy is now or what he did after? The style and technique is all very representive of the person who painted it, and I feel like he put a little piece of himself into the guitar.

The burst pattern on my 5 4001/3s are boring. Wait, they're all MapleGlos.....

That was really amazing. I just watched both episodes straight through and left me still wanting more What a beautiful guitar...an artist at work!

The third and fourth videos are up now. I just watched the third (spray of the last color -- purple).

Hi Paul,

Great little series. Learning lots. Keep 'em coming.

Best,

Excellent videos Paul. I've always wondered how you turn out all of those wonderful works of art.

Episode 4, my heart was in my mouth watching you scrape that binding. Great video's Paul.

Paul, what a great series, beautiful work!

Video#5--Clearcoating--is up.

After I finish building this guitar, I'll be doing a couple of vids on paint mixing and chemistry, and then there's lots of other topics to cover...stay tuned, as they say.

If a picture is worth a thousand words....................then a video is worth a thousand books. What a great series Paul. Congrats on a great idea and a job well done my friend.

This series of videos is fantastic! And I have a feeling it's only going to get better!

Oh, and the laugh track at the end of the last one was... uh... great...
