Memphetic Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hey all. I'm trying to recreate this finish: I have birdseye maple binding instead of plastic and would like to make the binding a sort of rich honey natural finish. What materials will I need for the whole finishing process and what sort of techniques will I need to employ? I already have pore filler from my last project, the sort of pastey clear stuff.

Maiden69 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Actually, that guitar doesn't look like it was stained. Just a vintage amber clear coat with a cherry burst on the edge. If you want your binding to be darker and not "white" just mix a clear with the color that you want and spray it. Other than that you can go with stain and do it that way. But to get the edge burst like that I recommend using the clear and not stain, the finish looks more crisp with the clear and more "fluid" with stains.

Racer X Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'd say that looks stained. Maybe this might help you: http://reranch.com/gibson_sunburst.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Stain the yellow, spray a tint for the burst effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
