Little Guitars Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Would I apray a burst of Olympic White on the bare wood and them stain with yellow dye over top of all of the body? That's the only way I can think to do it. Any suggestions? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...bayphotohosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Guitars Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 white burst on maple. But how would I get that translucent center? Is there some kind of tutorial on doing a burst similar to this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcrash Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 There is a good bursting tutorial off the PG homepage using a cardboard template - works well. To me, it looked like the body was (at least topped with) maple and it was a white burst with clear top - the yellow in the middle is just the color of light maple. If you're not using maple, or already had a nice coat of white grain filler/primer on the body, you could use (for simplicity sake) an airbrush with translucent yellow/trans white mixed to get that color and opaque white on the edges for the burst. Seems that in this case, and I may be wrong, that dye would be to heavy of a coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGW Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I used to have a white guitar and used one of those "Axsack" guitar jackets. When I removed the jacket years later, it looked almost identical to what you see there. What had happened was the jacket protected the guitar's outer edges (and backside) while the top was exposed to alot of smokey clubs. Looked pretty cool actually.

ihocky2 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Look for a Fender Blonde or Fender Butterscotch recipe, that'll get you that color and finish. Then just do a faint tinted white burst around the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
