I don't think I've ever seen someone double-dip the paint before. That really creates a nice "ghost flame" effect where it looks like the swirls are interacting, but remain distinct from each other. I've long been planning to do this with one of my guitars, and I may have to steal that idea...

Could always make a small metal pickguard to cover the mistake. Looks great

Might be the best sponsored portion of a video I’ve seen. You made the ad a part of the building process, which was awesome. I didn’t want to skip it for once

The matching headstock really works well… Fender Japan did an Japanese artists model with a painted white maple fretboard and neck (it was like a ghost guitar)… so it could be possible to do the entire guitar as a hydro-dip

Just a tip!Before masking,make shure the paint had already cure (dryed for more then 17hours) and before applying the masking tape,stick it first on your t-shirt or pants,this will add cotton fibers to the tape and make the glue weaker,that way it wont stick to much to the paint avoid this type of situations ;) Nice video man,and it ended looking pretty good!

This is awesome! I’m about to buy my daughter’s first guitar and we decided to get a kit so we could build it together. We’ve been talking about colors and design, and I wanted to do something special for it. I think this method would be perfect! Thank you for the inspiration!

I really like the second dip the translucent overlapping patters look really cool

I thought you were playing the forbidden riff. You got us in the first half not gonna lie

This is somewhat nostalgic. I remember seeing a video of a guy hydro dipping his Ibanez years ago.

My favourite part of your vids is when you play the guitar at the end and this guitar is probably one of my favorites, the colors look so beautiful together and it looks really unique with the two layers of the hydro dip and that song you played at the end was even more beautiful. 😁❤️

Hey Burl! Try “yellow frog tape”, it’s a very delicate adhesion. Better chance of not pulling. Great job as always! 👍🏻

Looks incredible, man. Remarkable sound as well. Always sick to see the stuff you come out with!

Not only do I like the design but it sounds like your guitar playing has also gotten even better very smooth sound love it

That neck turned out absolutely amazing! Love the body design as well. It reminds me a bit of those super colorful 70s era furniture and decoration designs.

I swear to god I work at guitar center this is by far one of the sickest guitars I’ve ever seen. Matching headstock, flamed neck, practical and stylish body shape, sounds amazing, holy crap! The colors are so beautiful

After all these years we have Shine On You Crazy Diamond part 10 lol . Cheers to another fantastic build by Burls 👍

The warm colors really make the guitar pop so beautifully. I love it.

I've never been a fan of hydro dipping but you picked some great colors and made a great pattern with it. I dig it.

9:01 Are we just not going to talk about this absolute banger of a demo?

Man that thing is absolutely gorgeous!! I love hydro dipped guitars and you did an awesome job with this one!!

I can't wait to see how it turns out That looks so cool good work

We actually did the same painting method in kindergarten to paint class jars . Of course we had the guidance of our teacher. If a five year old can do it, anyone can.

That looks so dope!! I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and your voice overs are an added touch. You’re extremely talented art wise, and musically. Keep it up!!

Great build! I think the single dip had a simple and appealing look but enjoyed the double too.

A fantastic looking guitar and an awesome jam at the end

That’s a sweet looking guitar. That flamed maple neck really sets it off with a touch of class, & that luscious mid range resonance.

I'm happy to see burls' vids pop up on my notifications

Perhaps a pick guard could solve the issue of the paint coming up? Either way, turned out awesome!

would love a playlist or channel of just you playing guitar

this paint job is excellent in looks. I really like the way the overlap transparency came through.

The blue & silver against the white was a great concept.

Well that's a very interesting technique as I have never heard of hydro-dip before. If you like that look, it turned out great! Nice playing as usual......... 👍👍🎸🎸

Dude you should have made hydro dipped fret inlays

This is awesome. I love the double dip's distinctive overlay look.

Great job beautiful guitar there are no mistakes in abstract art

This is incredible. You really are an artist, in the truest sense of the word.

No words to describe how amazing is your job! You're a terrific artist!!!

I had the idea of doing a dip in paint floating on water 20 years ago and suspected borax would enable the idea to work. I looked into it and sure enough, some people had within months achieved the ]idea, made theirs and borax was the key. *The results were more or less the same effect you achieved and you produce some absolutely beautiful guitars regularly.*

Beautiful. The double dip, and that amazing flamed maple neck. The sound is gorgeous. All round winner!

Love how the layers are almost ghosting

Thank you for showing how to properly dip a guitar instead of the usual spraying paint into water with an aerosol can. After knowing about this method for quite a while and being in commercial art for over 30 years plus working at Gibson guitar in Nashville, this whole thing about hydro dipping drove me crazy when I saw people starting to use the spray paint instead of actually dripping or pouring paint into the water. If anybody tries one versus the other it's a world of difference when you do it properly. Keep up the wonderful work. Thank you!

That's a beautiful looking guitar! Well done!!

That 2nd dip gave it so much depth!

i love the parts where the black overlaps the color and you can see the color through the black. Beautiful guitar. Sounds great too!

Never ceases to amaze me with the work you do on these guitars. Some mistakes along the way, but it's worth watching to see the end product. Keep up the good work, man.

Shit man that looks so awesome it almost looks psychedelic in a way

the dark shadowy bit to the left of the pick ups give it so much depth, amazing job

Love so much that double dipped effect, its really inter-dimensional! Nicely done.

It looks like something evh would play

I actually think the first attempt looked really nice, but I see what your were going for.

I always look forward to see what you’re gonna play and I’m glad you’re playing a little longer for us as well!

The double-dipping turned out surprisingly well. It really added something unique to the finish compared to typical hydro dips.

Awesome!! How much clear did you spray, and what product? Hope you can answer, cause I know you’re always busy!! I may have to try this method on one of my builds💥👍🤙

I love your work! Could you make a guitar with aluminiun neck?

That neck goes so well with that guitar, also love the darker swirl on the top middle of the body, it has a 3d smoke effect about it. A stunning guitar it has layers and sounds sweet🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Gorgeous, as always!! Love listening to your little demos at the end too.

I have build a hydrodipped guitar for a mate and it is never as easy as it looks came out very well tho

Gorgeous guitar. That flame maple neck is incredible. Good job.

i found the first attempt with the little splotches looked the best. it had so many little details. all subsequent dips were the dime a dozen big wavy looks

Guitars and finishes only a 80s-90s Hair Metal band kid would like !!! Classic Fenders, Gibsons, Rickenbackers & Gretsch are the real thing !!

I have dipped a dozen or so guitars and I was reasonably happy the way they turned out. Any screw holes need to be blown out with air or sealed to keep water out of the holes and swelling the wood.

Brilliant. Vibrant colours. Awesome video

That is a gorgeous effect. To be honest I liked all versions of it! I want a hydro dipped guitar now.

The idea of painting is not new, but it looks very impressive. No guitar color will be similar to the previous one. Each one will be unique and unrepeatable.

Very good job! Nice clean sound! Mean mids. Awesome axe.

DUDE!! Ive followed you since covid started and I’ve seen every video you’ve posted. I AM SO HAPPY AND AMAZED EACH AND EVERY TIME! You are beyond talented!! And you can play????!!! I WILL DEFINITELY BUY A GUITAR WHEN YOU SELL. I cant wait to watch more videos!!! But take your time with them, no pressure❤️❤️❤️

I really like the double dipped look

Man that burnt neck is fierce! Love the loop at the end too, nice playing.

Beautiful work. Amazing tone too.

🏜 lovely color pallet and as always great finished product. Also appreciated the longer guitar sesh at the end 🥰 my favorite part.

Very kewl - love tge way it turned out. Well done sir!

The neck looks amazing! I love figured maple. The body turned out better than I expected. I might have to try that technique some day if I ever get around to building a solid body guitar.

Brilliant video and beautiful guitar visually and the tone is excellent, well done

great playing in the end man :)

Great work as always . What a finish , AWESOME WORK ...................

I really like the extra effort you put into everything 💯💯

The double dip looks so good, don't think I've seen it done before!

Nicely done. I've never seen the dip process before, great result. That neck is killer!

Looks good and sounds good! I've seen some great results by submerging the object first then pouring in the paints and pulling the object out of the water up through the paint. This is also the ways the print decals are applied.

Really nice work. The hydro-dipping worked especially well.

Absolutely beautiful and it sounds great.

love hearin u play as well as build

Now that is an awesome idea! I have looked at hydro dipping before, but haven’t really thought about guitar bodies before. It would be cool if some bigger companies actually did stuff like this too! Or at least offered them.

Turned out great. The neck flame looks awesome

I liked the first dip with the white space, although I also thought the double dip was really cool as well. Thus while in some respects you have great instincts, don't be afraid of white space, it has character of its own!

Amazing result!

Nice solo at the end

Looks and sounds incredible! Great job dude

Nice video. Truth be told, I prefer the original look at 3:51. The white is "negative space" which causes the eye to look at the pattern, yet provides a relief to the movement of the pattern. But to each their own. Final project looked sharp. Thanks for the video!

That's wild... the guitar is like a magnet to the paint. Very cool!

The figuring on the neck goes really well with the whole vibe of the guitar

It looks great! I'd love to play one of your guitars. They all look phenomenal!

Damn this came out so nice! I absolutely love that flamed maple soo much!! Looks like a neck that came from ernie ball great job!! The double dip was a great idea as well! One of the most beautiful necks I’ve ever seen!

Always great playing at the end!

Definitely a unique one-off guitar and looks great plays great sounds great. That neck is gorgeous

The flame on that neck is impressive.

great job man! looks and sounds great!

Very cool as always 🤘 and that neck is also bananas. Well done!

I personally would've left out the black but the guitar still looks great. Nice job!

been watching you for a while now. and every guitar is better then the last! keep up the good work.
