Im thinking maybe you have to strain a red stain/dye. Add some white to it and mix?

Woodworker's supply has a good range of colors:

Wow, I was seriously just about to ask the SAME question, even post pics of the same guitars, lol.

Judging by their color chart, rose pink should be exactly what you're looking for, color wise. Seems like relatively standard dye, too, so you shouldn't have any out of the ordinary application problems either.

Woodcraft sells these oil based dyes.

That's more pink than I'd ever need. Or want, I hope.

Those are oil based, right?!

Wonder how different application of those are compaired to the water based. As water and wood interact so well.... my gut feel says that water based stains penetrate deeper in the wood.... creating more of a 3D effect when layering.

Could be wrong though......

Woodcraft doesn't seem to sell these products anymore....

Just when I have the hots for similar project....
