So my plan for this is to go the Nullarbor Ochre DT as I love the colour of that finish. There are a few PRS semi hollows that have similar colour too. I will use this on the front, back, sides and front of the headstock. Leave the bindings exposed as accents and a natural finish on the neck using neck top coat. Will also paint inside the f holes black to give some depth and match the pup mounts and nut. Might also hide some wiring if I use black wires to connect everything.
I was tempted to ebony timbermate to pop the flame veneer, but unsure how it would react with that particular colour of the DT. Would have been a nice touch to have used it as a grain filler too as it would fill a few tiny scratches and some pinholes in the veneer. I'm on the fence on the timbermate.
Another option is to use ink, but again I don't know if it would even pop the flame under that Ochre finish.
Any thoughts? Or anyone done anything similar with DT Nullarbor Ochre?
Cheers!
P.S. here's the DT sample pic...
