Yeah, well, this was meant to be Cherry Flamenco but.....
I would call it a burnt orangie type of colour.
How did I get this?
Easy, don't read Andy's instructions properly and steel wool between deep colour and base coats... ;)
Anyhoo, I kinda like it and more importantly, Miss Fiona likes it so it must be good 8-)

You've created a new Wudtone colour! Call it desert sunset maybe? :D
Edit: I should mention that I love the look of this guitar too :)
I'm not going to get to keep this one, am I?
You will need to convince Miss Fiona that your need is greater than mine...Quote:

And the excuse that you own a Super Reverb amp won't cut it with Miss Fiona, you will need to come up with a plausible and inarguable case.
I wish you luck my friend. Many have tried, many have failed.....dismally. I am amongst their number...
I love it when people don't follow Andy's instructions properly and a whole new colour is created!!! That looks awesome my good friend!!!
Hang on, so your NOT supposed to steel wool after the single deep colour coat????
Only if you are doing a Cherry finish Pest. :P
So steel wool for everything but Cherry then?
And only one deep colour?
Pest its up to you how many deep colour coats you apply. If you want a darker colour then no steel wool between deep coats and keep deep coating till you are happy with the colourQuote:

I put about 3 deep coats on the LP-1S and FV-1 to get a deeper colour
DB may disagree and say you should lightly steel wool between deep colour coats to key the wood surface, which is a good idea
so now you are only 2 hours ahead bro
Actually I don’t disagree with you Wokka.
If I want a really deep colour I wont steel wool until the 3rd deep colour coat. 8-)
