cerealk Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi everyone! I am having a maple veneer top put on an Ibanez RG body I have (customised by Brian from floyd to hardtail-you may have seen the tutorial) Paul from www.arrowheadguitars.com is going to do it for me but I am trying to come up with ideas for the particular shade of blue stain to have. The hardtail hardware is black The pickups will be black or blue. The neck is flame maple with a blue vine inlay So a request: If you have seen any pics of shades of blue stained veneer could you post them here pics or urls because I need some ideas of which shade of blue I may also go for a bit of a black sunburst too Thanks very much in advance Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar_ed Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi Simon, There is an old saying: Ask and ye shall receive. I built a Tele with a maple top and stained it blue. You can see it HERE. Scroll down a bit and click on Blue Guitar for pix with and without nitro. Includes tips on finishing. !!!!!!! or Foe dye sources, LMII, STEWMAC, or RERANCH. And don't forget good old Home Deport, Lowes, or your favorite hardware store for certain colors. And remember to use that camera!!!! Guitar Ed Advice worth what you paid for it. Nothing.
