    awesome! i can't wait to start this project back up again in a few weeks. So once i re-strip the body, i can then apply the stain and then basically seal the stain with the tung-oil and that's it? I've never really attempted to finish a stain with oil before so i just want to make sure that the stain won't rub off or anything like that.

    that's kind of what i was thinking would happen with the tung-oil. So how many coats of tung-oil do you think the guitar would roughly need? I really want it to avoid being glossy but i want the wood to still be protected. Should i also be using some steel wool in between coats? thanks!

    I've had a little bit of experience with refinishing and doing other little odds and ends to my project guitar but i'm curious about what i can do to get this exact kind of finish I want it to have that very 'wood' like quality to it without any real substantial gloss. Would a tung-oil finish get me there after i stain the wood with a black dye? Would this black dye work http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Finishing_supp...quid_Stain.html And how either of these two tung-oils? http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Finishing_supp...n_Tung_Oil.html http://www.formbys.com/products/tung_oil.cfm Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!!!
