hey guy's i am new to finishing guitars. never really finished anything at all. i sanded the body of an old guitar and was wanting to stain it went to lowes and got some stain. stained the guitar but the stain didn't really take. it more or less just set on top of the wood more like paint than stain. it is an oil based stain and i was wondering what the deal was. i wouldn't be so bad but it didnt really dry very even. i have already stripped the guitar again and was wondering if any one know of any good stains. i was trying to stain the guitar a dark ebony but don't really want to hide the grain of the wood.
