guitar_ed Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 When I see something like that, I think that I should find something else to do. Guitar Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEdwardJones Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Hand pinstriping is *SUCH* a cool thing to watch. I actualy wouldn't mind finding someone and apprenticing for something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAR Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 nah...it aint so cool. Trust me after a while it gets real boring. All the girls are like, you know screaming and stuff, just wanting you to lay your magic steady hands on them..........and you'll be like HEY!! leave me alone , Im an artist, and they're like but your so good, and Im like dont touch me down there and they're like show me your brush baby. Fame really isnt all its cracked up to be. Sometimes I just want to be left alone. I can really tell how Elvis felt. It a lonely existence, trust!!!

LGM Guitars Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 There was a guy in town who used to do that on harley's. Unbelieve-able. Me, I'll stick to pinstriping tape LOL. It's easier, and I can peel it off if I screw it up. What amazes me, was his symetry. Did he have a line drawn on there? or was it all freehand? if it was a line, it's still amazing, if it's freehand, it should be on ripley's believe it or not!

I saw some dude do this on "Monster Garage" once. No nothing, purely freehand. The design was about three times as big/complicated as the one on that tele. It was insane. Apparently there are only a handful of guys in hte US that still practice this, most people use pinstriping tape now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Wow i would love to have that done. Haha I cant draw straightish lines with a ruler, never mind freehand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Pinstriping was first popularized by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth in the old Hot Rod days 50's 60's Do a google search on him Search Results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlexVDL Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 It's just a little technique this guy does... since it's an old guy (look at his hair ) he had this technique perfectioned in time ofcourse! The trick is to use one or more fingers on the drawing hand as a guide from the edge of the body. This we were thought at school at woodworking, in case you don't have a guide to draw a line parrallel to the edge of a piece of wood. But now when he's drawing more in the middle of the body he uses the other hand to draw circles or arcs. Look at his pinky finger, it is exactly in the center of every arc, so that hand is used as a guide, by letting it rotate but with the pinky kept in the same place. It's a bit tricky but it works very well... you should try! (I often got splinters in my finger because I used rough sawed woods at school DUH!!)

LGM Guitars Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 yup, I've done that many times, but I wouldn't attempt this pinstriping like that I don't think. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
