Lord-of-the-strings Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) How would I go about doing this? translucent paints? or just staining different colour? I really like it and think it'd look incredible on a carved top LP. Link EDIT: Fixed link, also thought it'd be a better idea to use one of Rob Thorne's guitars as a better example. Better quality finish in my opinion than the Minarik one. Edited August 12, 2006 by Lord-of-the-strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 No offense.... but what exactly are we supposed to be watching for through 7 minutes of babied up speed metal? I watched the first 2 minutes and saw no blue burst in question. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wylde1919 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 This one perhaps? http://www.minarikguitars.com/products.gui...guitarcolorId=4 no comment on ocean bursting but I too would like to say dragonforce rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlGeeEater Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) The way i'd do it (which may or may not be right haha) would be to bleach (if the maple isn't that pure color) the maple, seal the body with 5-7 coats of clear, spray your tinted clear. Chris Edit: It also looks like there's a lighter color before the dark blue, so i'd bleach the maple, dye the burst that light blue color, seal it and spray your tinted blue for the burst. Carrieburst anybody? Edited August 11, 2006 by AlGeeEater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-of-the-strings Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Um... I'm not to sure how that happened When I set up the hyperlink, it said in the posting part that it was to minarikguitars.com. I know it probably seems like I'm saying this to cover up my error, but I swear lol Some kind server error? I dunno. And no, I don't like Dragonforce. I'd rather just go turn on my NES and put castlevania on the main screen instead of listening to them I'll fix the link now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 You're not going to get that finish unless you own spray equipment and know how to use it. But if you do, then it's clearcoat/turquoise/blue, that's it, no bleaching required, although you can if you want to, what you really need is a a clear piece of white Maple (no defects/mineral streaks/discoloring) to get you going.
