Paint Your Own Guitar and More EBOOKS!
Paint Your Own Guitar & More
"You're About To Discover The Easiest, Most Thorough Step-By-Step Method For Painting Your Own Guitar That Is GUARANTEED To Get You Factory-Like
Results - Even If It's Your VERY FIRST ATTEMPT!
Can you envision yourself painting a guitar and being able to produce a killer, glossy, factory-like finish on your very first attempt, even if you've
never painted a guitar before?
The truth is, I KNOW YOU CAN - When you have the right knowledge!
Introducing, 'HOW TO Create A Factory Guitar Finish...' - Your Step-By-Step Blueprint To Guitar-Painting SUCCESS!
PAINT YOUR OWN GUITAR's, 'HOW TO Create A Factory Guitar Finish With Just A Couple Of Spray Cans' was designed to teach you the PROPER way to paint a
guitar, and to reduce, and even ELIMINATE, the learning curve.
Instead of you making every mistake possible - which is completely natural when learning something you're not familiar with, my book gets you past the
learning curve of painting guitars and puts YOU right where you want to be. And, that's - producing KILLER FACTORY-LIKE GUITAR FINISHES.
'HOW TO Create A Factory Guitar Finish' is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step method that educates you, and gives you the confidence and skill to be able
to produce killer graphics and stunning factory-like finishes - all without using ANY expensive equipment! You're doing it with SPRAY CANS!
This book takes ALL of the mystery and guesswork out of achieving what you never thought was possible. No stoned has been left unturned.
THIS BOOK MAKES IT POSSIBLE.
WHAT MAKES MY METHOD SO UNIQUE?
The book is broken down - step-by-step; it's both easy-to-read and easy-to-understand. In fact, many of the people painting a guitar for the first
time using this book achieve the same results that I do. You read that right - they achieve the same results that I do!
I know it appears to be very daunting and difficult, because, believe me - I was once in your shoes; however, this book is so thorough and
well-written, it ARMS you with the confidence you need to achieve results that will BLOW YOU AWAY.
I know what you're saying... "But I've never painted a guitar before. Do you really think that I can get the same results that you do?"
ABSOLUTELY! ...I've seen hundreds of photo testimonials that PROVE that following my step-by-step method works - even on first attempts. Just check
out Scott Gulbransen. His 5150 was one of the very first guitars he ever painted! Scott is just one of thousands of people who has used the PAINT YOUR
OWN GUITAR book series to not only achieve awesome results, but to FINALLY paint that DREAM GUITAR he's always wanted.
You also get video footage covering many of the techniques we use in the books as well as things that are NOT covered in the books - such as
assembling, disassembling, wiring shortcuts and more. So, if you're one of those people who is hesitant about ordering because you learn better by
watching, THIS FOOTAGE WILL SHOW YOU THE PAINT YOUR OWN GUITAR PAINTING AND FINISHING TECHNIQUES AND MORE. This is like buying a book AND video for
the price of a book! Don't let this offer pass you by.
I don't think there's any doubt that Eddie Van Halen's Kramer 5150 is the most identifiable and copied guitar on the planet. I think just about every
EVHfan at some point has wanted to make himself or herself one of these babies - for no other reason but just to HAVE!... and to stand in front of the
mirror and POSE! Well, if you're one of those EVH fans that want one, but have been hesitant to do it yourself, I'm going to take you through all of
the nec- essary steps so you can paint your very own replica!
This book also covers disassembling, assembling, and wiring your 5150, so really - you should have no problems putting together your dream guitar. To
make it even easier for you, quite often, I carry some very well-made Kramer replicas that are "ready-to-paint." All you need to do is disassemble
(which is what this book will show you how to do), prep, and paint! On completion, you just reassemble (again, the book covers this), wire, and voilå!
- YOUR VERY OWN REPLICA AT A FRACTION OF THE COST!
If you're a George Lynch fan like I am, and you've thought about painting an M-1 Tiger replica, but were a little hesitant about doing it yourself,
FEAR NOT! My E-Book, 'HOW TO Paint & Wire Your Very Own TIGER' takes you step-by-step through the ENTIRE prepping and painting process, and
teaches you everything you need to know to paint a KILLER TIGER replica!
The book, not only explains how to create this custom design, it also teaches you how to complete your Tiger replica with a factory finish!
If You Paint Your Own Guitars, Then This Guitar Stand "Modification" Is Something YOU DEFINITELY NEED!
The Finish Protector™ - The Simple 5-Minute Guitar Stand "Modification" That Protects Your Guitar's Finish FOREVER!
DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF PLACING YOUR NEWLY LACQUERED GUITAR ON A GUITAR STAND WITH RUBBER ARMS! - BECAUSE LACQUER AND RUBBER DO NOT MIX!
*This is a 'HOW TO' e-book that shows you how to modify a guitar stand to protect your guitar's finish from the damaging effects of rubber. (Rubber
EATS Lacquer!)
If you’ve purchased any one of my books on painting your own guitar, then you know that I tell you to be very careful with your guitar’s finish for
the first year. Paint, namely lacquer, takes about a year to fully cure. Until then, your finish is still vulnerable.
Just take a look at the photo to the right - this is typical damage done as a result of placing a newly lacquered body on a guitar stand with rubber
arms (it sat on the stand for a few days). Simply put - RUBBER EATS LACQUER!
This e-book will show you how to modify a guitar stand in about 5 minutes so that your finish will stay protected FOREVER - and you'll never have to
worry about this sort of damage happening to ANY of your guitars.
You don't need any special skills to do this modification. All you need is a drill, a saw, and a couple of other parts you can get at any hardware
store. It'll cost you roughly $2.00 in parts.
When you see how well this modification works, you'll want to make them for all of your guitars - not just the ones you’ve painted yourself.
It REALLY is the ultimate Finish Protector™!
HOW TO Make Your Very Own Guitar WALL HANGERS... In Less Than 5 Minutes And For Less Than $1.00 EACH! -- Do-It-Yourself E-Book (PDF Format)
If you look around here, professional guitar wall hangers are all roughly $10 - $15 per hanger. If you have 10 guitars, that's at least $150 - just
for some wall hangers.
If you have 20 or more guitars, well - you do the math.
WHAT THIS E-BOOK IS ALL ABOUT
This is a simple project for the "do-it-yourselfer." I make it clear and simple - using easy explanations and lots of clear photos and illustrations,
how to make your very own guitar wall hangers - using just a couple of items you'll find at any hardware store. You don't need any special skills to
make these. I give you all of the measurements and directions - you just follow along. (You will need access to a few tools - saw, drill, hammer).
But, just because you're making these yourself, don't think for a second that they're going to be bad or look ugly. On the contrary - they look cool
and work perfectly!
Check out my wall below. It's a mixture of the expensive wall hangers you can buy for $15 each and my own that you can make for less than $1.00
each.
If the idea of sinking over $100 for some wall hangers doesn't appeal to you, this E-BOOK IS FOR YOU!

Thanks for posting those!
I'm interested in the ones about guitar hangers and guitar stands, but I don't want to have to download a 3-part rar file to get them. I'm on a
dial-up connection at home and it'll take forever.

the first one is actually a consolidation of a few harmony central posts it seems. search the archives there if the RAR is too annoying, well worth
the read.
cant remeber the guy's nick off hand. one of the guitars (the buzz saw i think) is a musoland.

If anyone else doesn't already have a program on their computer for unzipping these, (like me), I found a totally free one that's small, and after
you've downloaded it and installed it, you just have to right click on the file to decompress it;
