BLS Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I was browsing ebay and saw this awesome finish: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3724294919 my question is how would you achive this effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 looks to me like it's a two-piece ash body that has been painted black WITHOUT any grain filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Exactly, It's an unsealed Ash Body that's been painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 looks good though...i would have never thought of that...wonder how well it would work with alder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 looks good though...i would have never thought of that...wonder how well it would work with alder? yes, it looks awesome. It won't work well with alder. Alder doesn't have the beautiful grain ash has. Thanks for posting this BLS, this got me thinking. There's this product in the Netherlands they call stain, but it really isn't. It dries pretty hard and I'm planning to use that on an ash body in the near future to get that effect.

Yea, i think thats melamine your talkin about, thats what I used, on the front of my guitar, it didnt have that nice of a grain so i didnt want to show it, so i plowed on the coats, about 8 or more and you cant see it, but the back you can see, it only has 3 on it then clear coat, I think Melamine is what yuor thinking of, it dries really really hard, hope it dont affect the tone though Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yea, i think thats melamine your talkin about I dunno what melanine is... the stuff I'm talking about is water based. doesn't smell at all and is rather easy to apply. I used it for my mary kaye strat (applied nitro for a clear coat) and a tele relic I'm working on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsherman2006 Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 kinda the same topic, what would an ash body look like unsealed with a stain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 what would an ash body look like unsealed with a stain? stained... serious now... you mean stained with a clear coat? pretty much like that one. The grain will be visible quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum5545 Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 The Gibson Voodoo finish is the same thing, but they fill the grain red after spraying the black, and then clear the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
