Ok forumites, I scored myself a couple of kits in yesterday's birthday sale and would like a bit of advice before ordering some Wudtone for one them.
The kit is a Strat kit with maple fretboard and I've always wanted to do a vintage blonde colour just like the one below. Any idea how I could achieve this?
Cheers!

Spray gun and LACQUER :D
OK....l'm off to the naughty corner!!
Matt, we actually do have a Wudtone Colour called Vintage Blonde. We've had it for weeks, apparently, but Dingobass only informed me today that it has never been posted on our site. It's there now.
There's no photo of the colour, so you might be the first to try it out.
Andy, go and sit in the naughty corner :)
Matt, you will find Vintage Blonde in the Wudtone section!
here's the link...

Dratt... Adam types faster than me!....
Matt, if you do order this, as you're the first, I will credit you the purchase price if you supply us a photo of the colour on a guitar body.
Wow! Couldn't have asked for a better response than that! Done and done!
Ordering Vintage Blonde now ;)
Suggestions for the options? Gloss/Satin, Ageing/non-ageing?
Suggestions for the neck colour stain (like above)?
Gloss non ageing, Original Vintage Yellow....
this will look sweet!
All done and ordered, just have to get my other Surfer Girl Strat finished first ;)
Awesome fun! Thanks again guys
And refunded. You owe us a photo of your Vintage Blonde body Matt.
Thanks very much Adam, will get you photos as soon as it's at an acceptable level/finish.

Guitar body, that is :P
Haha :-)
Quick question. Is the Vintage Blonde a solid base like T-bird. Or is it mostly transparent?
How close is VB in reference to the picture in the op. is it a creamy white or does it have a bit more yellow in it?
Bump. Just wanting to find out about this colour so I can see if its suitable for what I want to do with it before I order it.
I recently asked DB about doing a solid white Wudtone, with this question "... I want to do a white finish, essentially as white as possible. *Ideally, I want it to be solid white or, at the very least, white that varies slightly with the grain. *Which do you think would work best, Olympic Girl or Vintage Blonde?". He recommended Vintage Blonde. I haven't received my order yet, so I can't tell you how solid the colour ends up (my plan is to use it on Mahogany).
If you're uncertain, your best bet will be to email DB (dingobass {at} pitbullguitars.com) with the specifics of what you are wanting to do and get his opinion.
I haven't had a chance to use the VB on any wood yet but in the bottle it looks VERY cream. There is a white base that comes with it so you can vary the colour so I suppose you could start with the white and add colour.
The VB 'system' is much like the Surfer Girl green I'm doing at the moment - the colour is quite transparent no matter how many coats you apply (which I actually like) and I also found with the Surfer Girl that no matter how much of the white base I added, it didn't really change the colour much (I added all of the white in the end) and was happy with the result - so I'm assuming the VB will have the same type of transparency?
