Hello everyone! I'm thinking of doing a thinline with either a surf green or daphne blue, but I'm not sure if the surf girl and t-bird wudtone finishes would achieve the look that I want.
I hope the finished product would look either like the one on the left or the one in the middle.

I then saw the video on applying wudtone finish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXYNaHVhm1g) and saw the last guitar finished in 3 coats of T-Bird. Now that's the colour I would want, something like a surf green which is different from the surf girl wudtone.
So my questions are:
1. How can I achieve the same colour as the jaguar in the video?
2. What does the white pigmented coat exactly do before the coloured coat is applied?
I understand that different types of wood response to the different coloured wudtones, but I really hope to get that classic fender surf green/daphne blue colour. At the moment I love both colours! Thanks!

Yes I have but I think I would prefer a greener tint to it!

The white base coat is mixed with the coloured base coat (or vice versa) so you can lighten the colour to match what you want.

Ah i see!
Fretworn, did you add any highlights to your tele?
-
The front has silver highlights. I thought that was appropriate with the amount of chrome hardware the guitar has.
-
You also need to remember that the grain shows through Wudtone, so it is difficult to get the same sort of finish as the guitars in the picture.

Yeah I won't be able to get a solid colour like the fender ones. Thanks for the help Fretworn.

The T-bird is a solid colour. I was courious myself, I asked DB the other day and he said that T-Bird is indeed a solid colour. I think this would be your best option the get something close to what you pictured.
