Hi gang, I'm looking to get some DingoTone neck finish for Elmo, but I was interested to know the differences in shades/colours between the three available. Is there a colour comparison chart I've missed?

hey BG, might pay to message DB, I've forgotten. I have a feeling bloodwood isn't red its more a vintage amber I think. Acacia might be more brown. Mission Beach looks almost orange and colourless speaks for itself.
So the neck or fingerboard have no finish on them ? seems strange for a factory build
I've used the neck clear coat and yes, it was clear! On a maple neck it added a very slight tinge to the natural colour (like wipe-on-poly but not as yellow)
BG before you order the DT neck kit just check with DB, my guesses of the colours could be way off !
OK. Acacia is close to the modern F company neck colour.
Bloodwood is a vintage amber F typeesque colour
Mission Beach is a more golden colour, designed to really compliment the red and scarlet hues of DT..
Bloodwood sounds ideal. Order shall be placed- thanks, DB!
Hi
This is the neck and fretboard colour of my 1981 Schecter.

What is the best approximation of this? I assume bloodwood from the earlier posts?
Also how would I finish the fretboard as its very pale?

cheers, Mark.
Nice looking guitar
Looks pretty close to what i want - what did you finish the fretboard with? (if anything)
There was some concern earlier in the thread that the stain on the fretboard may wear through?
Regards
