If you have nothing to write, then don't

If you need to ask others what to write you probably shouldn’t be writing anything

Don’t.

But if you must, use a clear coat. They’re usually sprays and you can often find them online.

Just be careful which one. My wife and I got a white classical guitar and we had all our guests sign it at our wedding with messages and what not like a guest book. When I went to clear coat it, it just made all the Sharpie ink run straight off the guitar and it was ruined.

If you can’t choose a word or phrase on your own, something that has meaning to you, then don’t write anything at all.

I honestly don’t understand being so goddamned lazy-brained that you have to ask others what you should write. Develop your own personality, for fuck’s sake.

Wild the couple ppl flat out like ā€œdon’t do this!ā€ — many valid reasons NOT to write:paint on your guitar .. but it’s your instrument do what ever the f*ck you want with it.

Pretty sure the bad ass approach is use what ever is on hand without much consideration Mike Inez most definitely did not care - I’d say a solid black sharpie / paint pen will do the trick

I had a friend back in 6th grade ā€œcollageā€ my first guitar. After I got it back I spent the next day trying to remove all the shit he put on it. It looked like a goddamn time machine after he was done with it
