RGXDave Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Hey,sorry if this is a n00b question but can I yellow my unfinished AllParts neck by soaking it in tea?EDIT: Why did I not realize it would warp? Probably not but it might be worth a shot. If that doesn't work,can I use a yellow wash on top of the lacquer?

PeteBuchan Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Don't soak it in tea! That will just lead to the wood warping and pickup up moisture. You'll take ages to dry it out - as in months - and it probably won't be playable. What I'd do is just put some amber dye in with the lacquer (very low concentration) and spray a layer onto the neck. If you like the colour, move onto clear lacquer, however, if you want it more aged, add another layer of the amber. Continue until you have the correct colour, then finish as usual with clear. Alternatively, if you're spraying with canned lacquer, just apply the dye to the wood and lacquer over the top. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGXDave Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 http://projectguitar.com/tut/vinneck.htmSeen it. Not doable at this point because I cannot afford colourtone and it is winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
