strummer2k Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 So is your Maple really red or brown? I'm assuming it is? I don't want you to have to use the wood bleach unless you have to, I'm not trying to complicate things, but it is additional information I thought you should be made aware of so you can make a more informed decision. It definitely has a couple of places where it is brown. Not bad, but I have been wondering all along what effect they may have. I believe I will try the bleach. I'll head to Lowe's tomorrow and pick some up. Thanks everyone for your input. I always get great advise here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I would recommend taking your time and giving each phase the attention it deserves and doing the best job you can, you learn more and the final product will be worth it, but that's your call. I'll have pics up within an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Same stuff I always use, same stuff I always talk about, my methods don't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strummer2k Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Drak - do I have this right? In your pics: for example, the tele looks like you dyed it purple, sanded back and then dyed it blue? Is that what you're trying to show with those? But it looks like you have black in there too. I am confused about what the sequence is supposed to be showing. However, the end result looks great as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 No I'm pretty sure that Drak used Black on the top picture first, even though Black tends to be very close to extremely dark Purple in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong Drak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 wow Perry I didn't know we couldn't post pictures unless they was in the tutorial section.. Yikes.. I might have broke some rules lately.. Sorry guys.. I didn't know we couldn't post a picture anymore. the new rules are that you can post one picture per post,then link to the rest,to save loading times for dial up users in the tutorial section though..IF it is a tutorial(i can hear you thinking)you can post as many pictures as needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Yeah strum, it's black in the first pics of both the Tele and Strat, just different angles of the sun probably. Believe it or not, the major component in most black dyes is....Blue! Take a little dye with the sink running and drop a drop of black dye into the running water (which breaks it down) you'll plainly see blue running away from it. Know how to make black blacker? Add orange! (true fact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Oh, so we can post ten pictures to a thread, in ten seperate posts?? Ok, well, now i really dont understand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 That's the way it ALWAYS been Perry, from day 1 you could never post more than 10 pics per post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Oh, so we can post ten pictures to a thread, in ten seperate posts?? Ok, well, now i really dont understand.... Let me get this right.. You can now only post one picture with a post in the forum, except here? So if he posted those 10 pictures in 10 post it would have taken 3 minutes for each post.. for a total of 30 minutes. I thought that litch said that you could post 10 pictures now in the regular forum now? I musta read it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 litch was incorrect... and you cannot post 10 pics in 10 different back to back posts either... it is really very simple...one pic...the rest are links...EXCEPT in this tutorial section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 And IN THIS SECTION... You can post a maximum of 10 pics PER POST. The software just won't accept any more pics than 10, it's always been that way. So if you have 15 pics, you can fit 10 in one post and 5 in the next one. Comprende?

The software just won't accept any more pics than 10, it's always been that way. So if you have 15 pics, you can fit 10 in one post and 5 in the next one. Comprende? Yup, and in the OTHER forum section, ie: non tutorial, we are expected to post ten pictures over ten threads, which takes a minimum of 30 minutes because of the flood control, bla bla bla This wasnt even a tutorial until four or five posts ago. So, to post in a tutorial, with 10 pics per post, we have to make it a tutorial first, WITHOUT pics... what a blatant waste of time. The rule is to assist dial up members. See HERE which proves thats a waste of time even thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Rhoads look at it this way though.. If you helped enough people you could become a VIP and not have the flood control to worry about though. You could post 10 back to back, with the one picture a post, until all your pictures was up.
