The nomad Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 http://www.prsguitars.com/showcase/private/ps1.html I fell in love with a PRS guitar and It has a vintage finish, How would I achieve that finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 ok... form the look of that guitar it is NOT an aged finish... i see no wear and tear anywhere on that. That's just a dark brown stain on maple... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 It looks like it was dyed black, sanded back, dyed dark brown, sanded back again, and then dyed amber, to me, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewman Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 C'mon, guys, didn't you read the page? It has an " "Old" overcoat ". Heh. I'm going to have to agree with Hunter on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 yes yes, he's right, and I was thinking that too, cause everyone is ALWAYs on the pluses of dying black and sanding back, etc. I was just simplifying it down cause i though you were a newbie cause you thought that was an "aged finish". As in like what fender does. So I didn't wanna confuse you. As for what PRS says about the "old" overcoat... I have NO clue... looks like a gloss finish to me...

Chris ← It's been mentioned before that black stain is actually made from a blue base, and will have a green 'tint' or 'haze' to it when a yellowing laquer is applied. Wouldn't you be better off dying with a DARK brown and sanding back as a first step if you are looking for that type of finish? I wouldn't want ANY hint of green on a finish like that if were my guitar..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
