Re-vamping My Guitar

I bought a new lovely-to-play  half sized classical guitar but found it was very boring- looking so i decided to give it a glamorous facelift.

Step 1 Preparing the Surface

I took off the guitar strings and removed the machine heads with a screwdriver.  I then sanded down the highly lacquered surface to make a 'key' so the new paint would stay on then used vinegar on cotton wool to remove an grease and dust.

This looks Really good! I love the flake finish, it matches the trim around the sound hole wonderfully

Thank you! I took the risk of it affecting the sound- i also put gems on the moth wings- guess what?... It still sounds lovely! Thank you for my first comment on Instructables! I can see myself becoming addicted to this site!

I do like how you made your own soudbox sticker. I didn't think of that when I did mine. Great job!
