Matte and shiny scales
on: September 04, 2018, 11:38:45 PM
Hi everyone
I really the combination of shiny and matte finish side by side, so today I tried to mask some parts of the scales and rub the others with a fine abrasive pad. Nothing difficult.   It’s just a test but I think I like the result. Maybe in the future I will try more complex way to do it
Who tried that? It would be nice to see what you have
Cheers
Piero

Hello everyone and thanks again
here is how i did it:

First of all i cut the tape using the knife (not really 100% precise, but good enough and quick. Of course you can skip this if you have a narrow tape). I just hold the knife against the table and rolled the tape on it:



Then i cut small stripes and applied them on the scale (of corse in the pics the scales are already "done", as i did them yesterday and the pics are from now):




I applied other stripes following the first one and then i removed them alternatively




Then i just masked the other parts to not ruin them and i rubbed the knife with this pad (i can't rememnber the name but i can find it. It's a bit too rough probably (i use it to make the back of guitar necks more matte and smooth and easier to play), but it's what i had at the moment.



Hope that's clear :)

Then i just masked the other parts to not ruin them and i rubbed the knife with this pad (i can't rememnber the name but i can find it. It's a bit too rough probably (i use it to make the back of guitar necks more matte and smooth and easier to play), but it's what i had at the moment.

Hope that's clear :)

Good to know
At the moment I am playing much less guitar and much more the “linnstrument”. But I don’t wanna go OT. Just check it (or search my nickname on YouTube, sorry I couldn’t resist)

Cool  :cheers:
Checked it out, great stuff there   :tu:
Didn't know of the “linnstrument”, it's a cool little gadget  :like:  Still I'm a bit more of a traditionalist myself though...   Still prefer real keys/synths and guitars/basses, been playing them (sometimes semi-pro) for over 30 years.

Anyway...  sorry if i side tracked the topic a little bit...  :oops:
