Hey! Ho! Lets go!
Look forward to seeing how this plays out Oli.
What’s the MKA-2 kit based on?

It's based on a Mosrite Ventures Mk II, here's a bit of background, albeit from a company selling knockoffs - https://eastwoodguitars.com/blogs/ne...te-to-sidejackQuote:

Not exactly the same but this was my grain popping phase.
Stained with jarrah and sanded it back. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...51c82a9528.jpg
If you can find something a bit greyer then it may achieve what you want to do.
Yours is also ash which will look a lot nicer than mine which is a basswood body
Hey OliSam
It sounds like you're trying to achieve a whitewash finish, here's a video that might help:

Also, to give your grain that grey-ish colour, I suggest filling using something dark like ebony Timber Mate, sanding it back and then whitewashing overtop. Hope this helps!

Not the same as the ash of the guitar body. But at least it is a test - of sorts.....

now I want a green Johnny Bravo signature series one.
What is the translation?
That’s a long tongue in cheek story. However short story is I wanted to translate the motto of “greatness is ours” into Latin so it sounded cool.Quote:

What a great day of progress.
Heavy Tung Oil finish that just kept soaking in
Starting to get more excited about this one.

Another coat of Tung Oil on the neck to seal in the water slides
I think I’ll let the whole thing rest for a week or so now.

I decided that the Japan black wasn’t working for me so I sanded back the front and back and put on a ton of mahogany stain so that it was a very deep crimson and black grain.
I’m quite chuffed with the result.

Oh that's looking naughty. Good call on the re-stain Oli.
Agreed, that looks awesome.
That’s working for me too.
oooh yea! that looks great
Just a little bit further tonight.
Polished the body and hammered the bridge and stop tail in.

It looks kind of dark in the shot but the red shines through in the light
