John Abbett Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi all, Here is my latest build, it's all mahogany body with curly maple top. It's my own formula of transtint blue/black/green with nitro. It's cream binding with chrome hardware. The pickups are the PAF ones from Guitar Fetish. I don't have pictures of the back, but the back is contoured like a fender strat. http://www.flickr.com/photos/15318670@N06/...in/photostream/ There is a button at the top left to zoom if you want. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 what a pair of beauties!!!! I'm in the middle of my first LP build and while not for this project, I would love to know about your dye recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Abbett Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 A little of this, a little of that.. I took the blue powder and it was too bright, so I added a little black. It was a little too blue, so I added a little touquoise. It was a little too green so I added more blue and some h2o. Now it's just right. I have enough to do a few guitars then I'll have to play with it again. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 which blue powder are you using?? I'm looking for something that will be pretty bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Abbett Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 The powder stuff that they sell at woodcraft. Really potent stuff. I mixed it with water. One little platic thing will make two quarts, and I only used a little bit of that to do a guitar face. -john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
