nsherman2006 Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi. I am thinking about doing a burnt stained finish on an ibanez rg550 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on colors that would look good. Is there any such thing as a fluorescent stain. The guitar is going to have a black pickguard, and ill get bobbin toppers to match the color of the stain. I like fluorescence.....but ive never seen fluorescent stain. Also, is there any types of wood that would be damaged by a burnt stain finish(particularly burning). Please help out with any sort of information that pertains to this topic that isnt in the tutorial. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 You can usually pick up a water based Flourescent paint kit in the hobby section of Walmart or an art supply store made for doing poster boards. Those applied lightly would be transluscent enough to let the grain show through. Just put it on like a wash then clear over it to hold it on.

nsherman2006 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Does anybody know anything about the quality of the grain on the rg550's? How would a yellow stain look in you expert's opinions? Thanks. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Brian did a most excellent 550 to burnt stained blue conversion on my guitar. the tutorials are on the main site. A yellow stain wouldn't show well on the basswood bodies of the 550's. Keep in mind that basswood often has mineral streaks through out so the green/blue color was chosen to hide that.(my guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
