Has anyone ever concentrated ink with water to stain their guitar ?
Several people have done that here. You need to use a permanent ink to ensure colour stability over time.
Yes, quite a few of the blue builds here have used blue ink as it's hard to find a wood dye that gives a deep enough colour.

Check out my Blue Tele in the signature where I diluted ink jet cyan blue with water. Dead simple and worked brilliantly.Quote:

Thank you so much Simon, Gavin, Waz and Stan. You have all been very helpful. Much appreciated. Here are some pic of my TBJ-5F so far. I have even used my Fiancee's nail polish to finish my Reversed lefty Iceman...Now a Fireman Bass. Its a pearl white finish with a marble effect and a coating of clear pearl glitter nail polish stolen from my Fiancee ! Haha. I have posted those pics also in "My Build Diary".
