hi there!

wow thats awesome!!!
i thought about mylo-ing up my keyboard, but its a bit risky

mrkjhnwht · 15-02-2012, 02:31 PM

Unfortunately, I have nothing Mylo Xylotoed up

But I do paint instruments/other things, and the Coldplay instruments have inspired me to paint my own. Hope you enjoy, and it's vaguely relevant, right?

This is a keyboard I painted and gave a lid to. Obviously not Coldplay songs written on, they're from my band, Circuit Chase. The lights are Christmas lights I found but they're not attached. It was painted with acrylics.

Spoiler

Again, not Mylo Xyloto, but a Viva La Vida guitar I did for my sister. Again, acrylic paint and pasted pictures.

Spoiler

Not Coldplay related in the slightest, but this is the stand I use to put my synth on... Inspired by the fact the Coldplay synths look like they're on podiums, and designed with Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy live setting in mind.

Spoiler

Again not Coldplay, but an Oasis guitar I did for a friend... Same method as above.

Spoiler

And finally a guitar with the cover from Muse's Butterflies and Hurricanes single. Ordered a poster online and stuck it on.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/

those are all pretty sick

does painting them affect the tone at all?

If the surface of an acoustic guitar is shiny, it makes the sound worse, apparently. But considering the ones I got were £20 each, they sound pretty shite in the first place.

Also, never paint the neck, and the fretboard if it's a nice guitar.

Basically, all I'd say is don't paint an instrument that means a lot to you.

I "Coldplayed" my keyboard

But it looked off so I removed everything but the VIVA logo and some confetti. YPG-235

whackanalien25 · 02-08-2012, 10:00 PM

i used spray pints to mylo up me guitar its has changed the sound but i like it. i used marker to write the lyrics on and stickers from the mx program from when i went to see them live at sunderand this year round the side. i spent a total of 4 weeks doing this in april and its the first time ive ever used spray paints.
