Pleased I came across this thread. I'm looking at the EX for staining too. You've done well rjmc to get it to this stage. The black red is looking good!
I had the same problem with the gap in the neck pocket on my AG kit when I had to kick the neck to line the strings up right. I filled it with glue and saw dust. The stain didn't take to it but the Tru Oil did help a lot when I did the finish coats.
Hi,
Thank you for your kind feedback... I used a bit of grainfiller to fill a tiny gap in the neck pocket. The grainfiller I use can be applied to fill tinny gaps. It is stainable and doesn't crack, and is also compatible with every kind of finish.
Hi everyone,
Staining done, time for some Crimson Guitars Penetrating oil... Currently finishing the third coat...

Hi,
Starting to put some coats of Crimson's High Build Guitar Finishing Oil. However, even without 0 experience, and with the issues previously discussed on the body, I think I got a fair result....

Nice job.
Hey, how different are the Crimson cherry and crimson stains? I'm mulling over a project and wondering about using the cherry to accentuate the grain under the crimson, but on my monitor the crimson examples don't look very different, so I wonder how much effect I'd get and whether I'd be better using a small admixture of brown instead.
I like that look. It’s both interesting and involving. And it’s obviously hidden the flaws pretty well. Great work.
Yes, looks really good. You've managed the mismatched timber really well. Good on ya!
Your mate should be very pleased with that!
