step 5 of 27

step 6 of 27

step 7 of 27

step 8 of 27

Will be using the created texture for a nice looking wood texture by smudging it.

step 9 of 27

Overlap the texture and messed around with the layer blending mode.

step 10 of 27

Painting some shades

step 11 of 27

Painted some bright colors around the edges. Also I painted the rest. No special tricks. The only thing I used was a brush + some selection tools.

step 12 of 27

Painting the rest of the guitar. Inverted the background just to see the edges.

- Added a color balance adjustment

step 14 of 27

Painting the background

step 15 of 27

Painting the sides of the guitar. I hope you are not getting bored. :|

step 16 of 27

Painting a ground texture, no filters used or external sources.

step 17 of 27

Painting more details using a blue brush.

step 18 of 27

Painting some shades.

From now on when I put this "P". It just means I am painting without any special tricks. "C&P" means copying and pasting.

step 19 of 27

Added a color balance adjustment.

step 20 of 27

Will be using this again.

step 21 of 27

Smudged the texture and applied it to the side of the guitar.

step 22 of 27

step 23 of 27

step 24 of 27

P + Messing around with brush blending mode.

step 25 of 27

P + C&P

step 26 of 27

P + C&P

step 27 of 27

There really wasn't any tricks to this. So there really wasn't much to talk about. At the very end I added an adjustment and I blurred some parts to give a depth of field. There are some minor differences between this guitar and a regular guitar. I just copied what I saw in my dream.
