hi there!

show us your Coldplay lookalike instruments or whatever you do, to make yourself a big big fan of Coldplay (with influence from Mylo Xyloto;)

here is mine!

look! :D this is my self created squier strat (mylo xyloto style)

i'am proud of it! :D

wow thats awesome!!!

i thought about mylo-ing up my keyboard, but its a bit risky

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.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

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.

Hi, I want to do the exact same thing as you! What materials did you use? Did yu sand what type of paints?

Thanks

I "Coldplayed" my keyboard :uhoh: But it looked off so I removed everything but the VIVA logo and some confetti. YPG-235

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.

 

um how do you post pictures?

you can get the stickeres in the mylo xyloto program £15 well worth it

and you dont need to take the guitar neck off if you dont what to paint it you just use masking tape to cover the neck and anywhere else you dont what panited then take it of once its all dry and varnished.

I would paint my violin if it weren't rented and if my parents let me... And if it weren't for orchestra...

at the moment im planning to paint my broken electric guitar with glow in the dark spray paint and cover in in MX era Lyrics to go with my acoustic ill post pictures when ive finninshed but i could be a while.

its not glowin the dark but i like it ,not as much as my acoustic though!
