Wine Red Finish?

This may be a question best for DB, but i wasn't sure.

I am already throwing ideas about my next build, being an LP-1.

I've always wanted a wine red finish...like the LP studio and I am a massive fan of AJ's LP-1 in "modified mahogany".

Any suggestions as to the best way a beginner can achieve this, would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Andy,

The Dingotone Karijini red would go close, especially on lighter coloured timbers.

What if Dingotone Karijini red is not available in your country?

Hey Fender, in that case I would say Colourtone would be the way to go..

I was afraid you might say that. Seems awfully pricy when I compare what you get from SM to what you get with the Dingotone kit <sigh>

fender3x you get alot of stain in a bottle of colortone

Yeah Fender3x, the Colortone from SM should be undiluted so a bottle should last you a fair while

You could always try something like Keda dyes.

might give them a crack Pabs, which colours did you mix to get the orange on your tele ?

I used uBeaut dyes on that one. The orange was straight from the tub.
