No, you do not want HVLP. I own HVLP, RP, and high pressure. HVLP is the least used. All I can say is do a lot of reading first. There is alot more to painting guitars than buying a gun and spraying paint. To do quality requires expensive materials and safety equipment. Keep this in mind, only the rich can afford to buy cheap, you buy a cheap gun, you'll be buying another one soon. You buy good, you buy once.

I'm in the tool business, and sell a lot of equipment to cabinet shops. Although I don't sell sprayers now....I did in the past. There's only one brand the good shops all use: Binks. Siphon-fed, not gravity fed. I would imagine that spraying a guitar is somewhat similar to spraying fine custom cabinetry.

The great shops wouldn't use binks though lol.

Binks is nice, Sharpe is nice, even Devilbiss has some nice guns. Cream of the crop is Sata though. Nothing else even compares, they are the ferrari of the paint gun world, next on the list to Sata I would put Iwata. Binks, meh, I'd leave them down in 4th or 5th spot personally.

Oh, by the way, gravity feed is nicer, but the bottom line is, it doesn't matter if it's gravity feed, or syphon feed, or pressure pot, and if it's the best gun in the world, you still need to know how to paint. The best guns in the world won't give a crappy painter a good finish.
