Yeah. Practice on a piece of cutoff from your top wood, and try out your color combos a LOT if you really want to achieve what some other guitar looks like.
A LOT.
PS, Rodney is right, it's dark brown, not black. And the fact that you have to ask us tells me you better do a lot of practice runs first, or you will be way off target and will have to settle for whatever happens if you don't.
I have a weird feeling that there is a really light shader coat over top of the basic colors on the wood, something about the way it looks, but I'm not 6 inches from it looking at it in real life either...

Yes, I will definitely try it out on first on something other than my flame top - no cutoff scraps 'cause it's a Warmoth body, but there are some specialty hardwood places in Seattle... This will be my second dye finish - the first one turned out great, but it was a simple scarlet red on quilt. I agree with you on the black - basic color theory says black & yellow makes green. Ugh.
Thanks to everyone for the input.
