Sorry Andy I didn’t get back to you sooner nah spray the dingo tone light coat with the orange just to darken it up the orange and fade it towards the yellow and reclear you don’t haft to rub a burst or a stain can spray them (I think burst look better when sprayed) when I did my apprenticeship i started in a furniture factory (Kirby’s) we very rarely rubbed a stain some woods can suck up stain like buggery I would suggest use a air brush or small touch up gun if you have one just set the gun up to spray a tad on the dry side.
I am looking for my next kit now Andy which I’m going to do a burst and stain and will be spraying it, I just cant make up my mind if I go with a les or es-3 or Ibanez or prs kit just cant make my mind up what to pull the trigger on, I don’t usually come to the forum very often so I don’t post much
Hi andy, could it be the batch of dt, mines done a bit the same as yous and lost colour
I took a time lapse video while making the burst. Things have obviously moved on from here.
If your interested, probs should watch it before they block my cool music.

Cheers for posting that time-lapse video Andy40, it was cool to see how the finishing work went, that thing you were using to hold the body at an angle while you worked on it looked like a really handy device, might have to buy myself one.
That guitar is looking great by the way.
cool time lapse video Andy, its come up looking great. Who were the artists in the backing tracks ? Buckcherry one of them
@ Doc the device to hold the body at an angle are clamps ! He used 2 Irwin quick grip clamps
