Asomodai Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Hey guys. Im considering what sort of finish i would like for my telecaster. I remember seeing a guitar a long time ago, that had a Quilted maple top , but it was dyed White, It looked really nice. i think it was of the PRS stable of guitars. Thing is when i try looking for a picture of this sort of effect i cant find anything! Is there a place where i can get a Quilted maple veneer in white? Or if not, is there an easy way of dying a maple top with white? Apparantly it could be quite hard due to the fact that white is white and isent exactly transparant. I hope you guys can help me. or at least see what im trying to explain! Rob ((NB sorry, meant to have posted this in the finishing forum, if anyone would like to move it i would be grateful:) )) Quote
Morben Guitars Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 do a google image search for "mary kay finish" I think that's the look you're after. It's a translucent white. Reranch sells it in a rattle can I believe. Quote
Asomodai Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Posted June 1, 2004 No . thats not what i meant sorry, lol,Matt white isent my idea of COOL. lol Well this is the closest i could get to it. but instead of the type of flame showed here, i mean a more sort of prs flame, going horizontally as in ---- not llllll way. Tele project right click and save target as to view Rob Quote

skibum5545 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 Sounds like a stain black, sand back followed by mary kay white? Quote
