I have begun building 3 guitars, one for each of my sons. For this project, I think the building will be the easy part and the finishing the hard part. The finishes they want are vintage amber (on flamed maple drop top over mahogany body like Gibson LP Supreme Trans Amber), see through black cherry (on quilted maple drop top over mahogany body like ESP Custom) and vintage cherry on mahogany body (like Gibson SG).
Can anyone give advice on recipes or approaches to achieve each of these different finishes? Lots at stake here as you would understand.
