Episode Synopsis "Episode 8: Body Contouring, Painting and Pickguards"

Episode 8: Body Contouring, Painting and Pickguards is available now! Download Here Today we discuss contouring the body.  There are a few tools needed to complete this job successfully.  The first is a surform shaver.  You can see an example and purchase one here.  You will also need a rasp.  Finally, you will need a foam sanding block. When it comes to painting the instrument, there are hundreds of colors to choose from.  While you can use various kinds of paint, I prefer to stick with specifically instrument paint just to avoid any unseen issues.  There are tons of different kinds to choose from here.  Remember, the goal is to have fun and be creative!!!
