al heeley Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Looks like a few applications of black dye sanded back and brown dye applied, then about 15 coats of PU lacquer, wet sanded and buffed to a very high gloss. Do you have a similar figured maple top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1r12003 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Do some searches for "Tiger's Eye" stain. It's dark brown, sand back amber, sand back red, sand back yellow sand back then any other accent color you need followed by the laquer etc...

I just bought the top one on the fiddleback section (M.F.1729) for my PRS project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al heeley Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Aah, I think you're supposed to carve the top yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhailgtrski Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Check out this thread. Lots of help there. People are referring to my work? Y'all are in trouble now - that was just beginner's luck (with some help). Mine is tortoise shell and it is a different look than the violin amber. PRS calls that "double-stained violin amber" but that pic doesn't look much like their normal violin amber. According to Rodney there is no sand back on violin amber, just several applications of diluted brown + red (IIRC) scrubbed back with alcohol, then yellow, scrub out, then several more topcoats of yellow (again, IIRC). Although that Private Stock #1 has an "old overcoat" which I'm guessing is a toner added to the clearcoat. Might explain why it's darker looking.

Mike Your thread was very detailed and helpful, I might even attempt my own build now, The main thing I was worried about was the finish.. but it kinda looks possible after seeing that hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
