Gave the Epiphone some love today with a fretboard oil and new strings. I absolutely love this guitar and really hope they keep the “Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom” line going.

First coat of clear! Not perfect, but by golly, I'm happy with how this is turning out!

Next guitar is 100% going to be a single color though. #Nitrocellulose #Tobaccoburst #Stratocaster #DIY

First bit of brown added. Starting to feel very in over my head right now and questioning why I would attempt a burst for my first paint job. Won’t let that stop me though. Only about 46 more coats to go! #handmade #guitar #diy #project #nitrocellulose #finish #stratocaster #tobaccoburst #inprogress

Was able to spray some red before work. Tomorrow will involve some sanding to get rid of some specks, then another coat of red to even things out before going to the next color. #guitar #fender #handmade #stratocaster #DIY #rattlecan #paint #nitro #tobaccoburst
