The Top On Billy's "Custom Made Guitar" is Made From Rubber,
This Allows him to Stick Knives Into it on Stage.
The Purple Drip Guitar & Bass
The
finish on Dusty's
Bass
is achieved by using
a 1/8 piece
of Plexiglas for the top.
Billy & Dusty probably have more guitars with painted fingerboards than anyone else in the world.
Painting a fretboard is a massive undertaking, Very few people are capable of it. The frets have to be installed after the paint and 80 percent of the clear is applied. You have to be super careful not to chip any paint as the frets are installed. After the frets are installed the rest of the clear is applied and the top of the frets are wiped with a special tool. As I said above Billy & Dusty love those painted fingerboards, The hardest color of all to do is white because every little bitty chip shows through. |
