bscur Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 For my first guitar, I'm looking to apply a tobacco burst finish. What dyes and what order should I go in? Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I can't advise directly but I do have a book from Stewmac titled Guitar Finishing Step by Step. It is extremely useful for all stages of prep and finishing, but to your question, it gives recipes and steps to achieving lots of finishes including bursts. They have recipes / techniques / sequences for Gibson and Fender bursts and one recipe for a PRS vintage burst. Stewmac also has a video specifically for applying a sunburst finish.

Phil Mailloux Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Go to www.reranch.com read "finishing 101", then "gibson Sunbursts" and then "Fender Sunbursts". Have also a look at the guitars in the gallery section. You should have all the info you need after doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
