COOL!!!!!!! -
I was blown out of he water and all my misconceptions of wrapping a guitar in leather when it was all said and done the first time. As long as the Bridge is mounted directly to the wood through the leather then all of the sustain is still there in an electric. Believe me we tested against many of our tele's to make sure we weren't being fooled:) I am tempted and I will wrap an acoustic guitar one day, but I think maybe as long as you glue the leather to the acoustic guitar which MOST PEOPLE would never want; It would still be ok. But if it isn't tight enough and is more like a zipper style wrap it will dull the sound quite a lot. Here is an update:) I can't wait o see it with all the Chrome and Rosewood!!!!!!

Wrapping an acoustic absolutely KILLS it....Looks real cool, but if you actually play it plugged in or mic'ed it is a dead instrument. Elvis and Buddy Holly both used their guitars as props more than an actual instrument....IT DOES LOOK AWESOME!!!!!

Just as soon as I finally decide how to color it:) I am thinking black sides and back inside the tooling red brown binding to match the red neck and natural lace with a natural top. We got some Koa for the back plate,striding cover and Jack plate. This should turn out pretty amazing with a leather burst color look! The texture is really cool. I rolled the leather for about 30mins. So it has some real beautiful texture to it.

HOW TO WRAP A LEATHER GUITAR THREAD IS COMPLETE! FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS NOW. THANKS!
-
STEP 10: A: Glue down the sides. I use a high grade contact cement for this just as I did the top and back leather pieces. I start with the neck Pocket Joint. Then work my way down to the end. Follow the edges and pinch them together to stick. **THIS CONCLUDES THE BASIC HOW TO COVER A GUITAR IN LEATHER** I hope you enjoyed seeing the process. I will be finishing this guitar with lace and color but I think we have reached the end of the HOW TO part of this thread. The rest forth coming, will be the actual setting up of the guitar and I will surly post pictures of its completion. It will be going to my Luthier and partner Scott Morgan for its completion after color and lace.So unfortunately my photos will end for a brief time until the build and set up is complete. FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS NOW: THANK YOU ALL!

I don't dye the backsides. The Dyes I use don't seep through. I use R.O.C dyes NOT FEIBINGS! Also DO NOT put foam in there it gets sweaty and starts to grow a super funk inside! Then it will really start to stink! Guitars are not so heavy that they need a foam on the inside. I always HATED big fat padded straps...... add the sweat funk smell into the mix and it just really sucks!

Yep I am in the boat with Bluesman. 8-9 oz with a 2-3 liner, or upholstery liner. IF I LINE IT! Most of the time I just make sure the KIP on the backside is good and smooth when I buy the skins. After I tool it out I just oil and wax the back side ad leave it good to go. As a musician I have tried so many combinations over the years so this is what I tend to like the best for my straps....it is all opinion and preference, so just do whatever the client wants! If I had a Cobra I might be putting on Liners all the time:) But I don't own a sewing machine for industrial sewing.....YET:)

STEP 8 A: With a wood burner I even out the edges of the Pick Up cut out and Neck pocket cut out. B: Using Black Dye/Stain I black out the Pick Up Hole and Neck Pocket. STEP 9 A: Make a mark in the 1/2 way point of the Jack hole and line up the sides and make your first slots/lace holes line up with the top leather. B: After Punching out all the slots that line up with the top leather; Continue the same process for the bottom. Line up your mark and top slots and flip the guitar over and Do the same process. ****I already cut out the neck notch on the side strap of leather so I don't have to mark what is top and what is bottom it already lines up*****
