Well this was a different kind of project than my usual furniture redo's. I picked up this beginner guitar with intentions of making a lamp out of it by drilling designs though it or adding stained glass to it. I discovered that it was still in playable condition so I couldn't talk myself into cutting it up and kept leaving it for another day.
Eventually I realized I would never bring myself to cut it up, so thought it would be fun to try adding a transfer to it. So I took off the strings and cleaned up the surface and taped everything up to give it a makeover instead.
Then I used a Prima rub on transfer I had hanging around and positioned the deer and trees to make up a little scene. Rubbed off the transfers when I had them in the right spots and it worked perfectly!
To seal it I used Gator Hide with a sponge and applied 3 coats as it will hopefully get used again and I wanted to make the design durable.
So after it dried it was restrung and ready to go. It was nice to personalize it and make it a one of a kind. Can't wait to try another...maybe with colored epoxy next time.
Hope you enjoyed!
