This has to be one of the most Beautiful rub on finishes I have eve seen...Bravo!!

I’ve seen this video so many times but I just love watching you dye that guitar! Such a beautiful piece of wood

English Translation: Hi Guys, As part of my latest project, the replica of a 59 'Les Paul, here is the first part. Pickling the sunburst. To the body: One-piece in Khaya Mahogany, beige binding; Flamed maplet top made of Canadian maple 17 mm; Weight 2.5kg. I used colors from Stewmac from the USA: Colortone Vintage Amber, Orange and Red Mahogany. The basic tone is vintage amber, the darker edge is a blend of vintage amber, orange and red mahogany. More parts will follow in the course of the project. So, have fun watching. Comments and questions are welcome.

I'm stunned at the rubbing speed the guy achieves during application - starts slowly and in a matter of seconds he's up to breakneck speeds. The control demonstrated in acceleration/deceleration is also hugely impressive. Obviously practice makes perfect - bravo!

That outcome is absolutely beautiful. The best one I've seen on youtube ever.

Unbelievably Beautiful my friend...Bravo!

Eres excelente amigo, admiro tu trabajo. Tu trabajo es un excelente mensaje de un gran artista, ¡felicidades!

An absolute pleasure to see you work sir. A craftsman who puts love, care and personal satisfaction into what he creates. Beautiful !

That top is AWESOME! FLAMING AND SUBTLE QUILT! As the colour builds it highlights the figure even more! GORGEOUS!

So beautiful! The deep center amber and maroon/blood red outer is my favorite color burst! Great work! When I add the outer red, I tend to move towards the center (just a little distance) as I go around. This helps me to avoid making a defined separation between the two colors. I want the colors to blend nicely as they move from red to amber. Just an application methodology that works for me. Your application method is interesting and helps us learn. Your results are superior. Best wishes and thank you!

Arte y presión! Excelente y exquisito el trabajo final!

Absolutely amazing-beautiful work!

Beautiful!! Love the music as well :)

absolutely beautiful work my friend and cool music as well

I love this way for paint looks easy and beautiful by the same time !

Man I love those flames! beautiful!

Love the tone - both, colour and sound 😊

Beautiful job!!!

the time you took, and the way you blended the layers of stain, is Mad-Scientist Status !!!! amazing ! i hope mine turns out half his gorgeous !!!! thanks again, this channel has been my savior through this process !!!

Beautiful. Absolutely the best hand-applied burst.

Wonderfull, you are an artist!

Now that's a PROPER burst. The gradation is absolutely perfect. Looks natural and organic. Amazing job.👍

I really needed this. Im doing my first sunburst and i wasn’t sure what i was doing. This helps.

Fantastic work.

Outstanding dude Awesome finish 😁😁🤘🤘

Oh yes. This burst is beautiful. Very tasteful.

Excellent work!! Looks better than factory. I have searched the web along with youtube for a guide as I am attempting to assemble, (NOT BUILDING) a kit, and this is by far the best video out there. Plus Vittorio sharing his expertise on procedure is so helpful. I don't expect to get a result anywhere near what he has done but even then it should be better than if I did not use this as a guide at all. THANKS MAN!!

Beautiful work, but my favorite was the after the second application of yellow! :D Beautiful cap on that guitar.

Good job dude..more vidio like this pleace,l really enjoy evry proces that you've done..

Ihre Arbeit ist hervorragend

My god that is beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Sehr schönes Video. Hat mir definitiv weitergeholfen.

That is absolutely stunning.

I would have left it after the first coat. It looked awesome!

Tolle. Das ist ziemlich genau das, was ich bei meinem ersten Gitarrenbau vorhabe. Danke für das Teilen!

Fantastic work

Amazing flames! excellent job!

Beautiful. All you're missing is a Corona beer with a lime and a palm tree!

Very well done. Stunning top.Great job. Good luck with the clear.

That's one wild looking piece of maple!

That is wonderful!

Beautiful grain pattern ,just right for staining

thx for the video ! great background tunes !!!

Schöne Arbeit!

I agree with everybody who hated the (so-called) music in this vid. But never mind, it's a stunningly BEAUTIFUL burst! If I had a Les Paul, I'd want it to look just like this!

Very beautiful!

My god, you know how to use the colors!!!!! I'll try to do the same..... Thank you

You are doing a very nice job just stop to show some love

Das ist sehr gut!☺

Bad Assed !!!!!!! Thanks for sharing....

wow ! that thing almost sun-bursted itself when you added that yellow !!!

Beautiful work better than factory 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Bravo!

I beg to differ! I love this song!!!!!!!!

Nice. The most important thing is to make sure any sealer is sanded off first or the dye won't penetrate.

Yeah, very nice top.

awesome !!!

Mega cool

Amazing, thanks...

Real nice, man!!

NICE!! I built a guitar much like yours (I tried to duplicate Slash’s guitar in Sweet child...), I used amber shellac and then top coated with epoxy resin. Factoid; the reason why wood takes on certain appearances/hues is because the darker (Tiger Stripe) wood is less dense than the harder surrounding wood so it soaks up more die. If you stain a ‘figured’ wood then do a fairly light sanding then denser wood gets lighter (has less color pigment) making the stripes look darker. I’m not sure if the ‘pros’ ‘airbrush’ the Maple top to enhance the coloration/stripes. Think of the ‘figured’ wood as a W (wave-like) knock the high spots off, you’ll leave the less dense areas darker. Then there's the darker-> lighter 2 dye method

Very nice job

thank you sir

Absolut wahnsinnig der ober Meister

AWESOME...

bravo !!

Amazing! Would love to try .y own cherry charcoal finish this technique!

Klasse! Ich will es auch mal mit einem alten italienischen Ahornbody versuchen. Wenn es nix wird, dann ist es halt so. Der hatte mich mal 15 DM gekostet, da macht man nix falsch. Zumindest versucht haben will ich es wenigstens 😊

Prima!

Sweet!

Das ist gut.

Absolutely beautiful finish an there but if I hear that loop one more time I’ll lose my mind

The music makes me want to spray it candy apple red.

looks killer

Hermosa.

Geil

Nice song...

Massa

perfekte Arbeit....

I loved it at 2:50

Good!

Nice job and sweet song?

綺麗好き。気持ちいいね。

😁👏👏👏

oh wow

Man sieht mit wieviel liebe das Instrument gebaut wird. Leider sieht man das heutzutage selten. Meine Gitarre würde ich ohne zu zögern in ihre Hände geben :-)

muito bom

Hello Vittorio. Can you share how you constructed your stand you used for spraying this absolute beauty? I am doing my first kit, an LP custom in tobacco sunburst and using your video as a guide to aspire to. My kit is a set neck and I’d like to spray my lacquer with the guitar positioned horizontally.

I don't know why, but to it looks like the truetint/colortone dyes always lead to better results than other tints.

😱👏👏👏👏👏👏💓

Look into my heart and seee

Wow amazing even Gibsons Bursts don't look that good

beautiful .. Give me the lession..

Boy that thang is Die Schicht!!!

lovely lovely looking guitar... wicked informative video, but unfortunately I don't speak or read German so I didn't understand a word. still a stonking video tho.

thanks so much for the reply on the pigments and mixing ratio. 1 more questions: what was your sanding regimen and what grits did you use for each sanding?

Who was the band for the soundtrack? I enjoyed the guitar work! And the sunburst looks great

Hi, the effect on the maple is really very good, I'm interested and I would like to know if it is suitable for coloring spruce with equal success and without staining the violin top (wich, the spruce absorbing the color uniformly) do you have experience of this kind? thank you

I have watched this build from start to finish. Absolutely amazing work my friend! where did you get the body and neck from?
