Asomodai Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share 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!

Morben Guitars Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share 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.
