I Turned a Guitar Into GOLD! | Messer’s Garage Ep. 6

Welcome back to Messer’s Garage! In Episode 6, I’m stepping away from the cars for a little while and taking on a completely different kind of build project — gold leafing a guitar! 🤘✨ I’ve always loved guitars, and in this episode I decided to see what would happen if I took one and gave it a seriously over-the-top gold leaf finish. What could possibly go wrong? 😂 This project involves plenty of prep work, patience, experimenting, and a whole lot of gold. Applying gold leaf isn't quite as simple as just sticking shiny pieces onto a guitar, and there are definitely some challenges along the way. In this episode of Messer’s Garage, you'll see the process of transforming the guitar into a unique, flashy, one-of-a-kind instrument. I’m working with gold leaf, guitar refinishing, custom guitar finishes, DIY guitar projects, and hands-on fabrication, all while figuring things out as I go. And that's really what Messer's Garage is all about — cars, guitars, building cool stuff, making mistakes, and having fun along the way. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: Gold leafing a guitar Custom guitar finishing DIY guitar project Preparing a guitar for gold leaf Applying gold leaf Creating a unique guitar finish Guitar customization Learning as I go Plenty of trial and error And, of course, a whole lot of GOLD! 🥇 If you enjoy custom cars, classic cars, project cars, guitar builds, fabrication, painting, DIY projects, garage builds, and punk rock, you're in the right place.
