Hey Stan,

Awesome thanks mate!!
I'll let you know..
Yeah spot on man, one of those things that'll only bug me! At the end of the day I'm all about the sound the thing makes, all my other guitars are dinged up but they all sound killa! I'm more into...
Thanks wokka, no I went straight on with the black stain knowing I may run in to this problem. Weird s#*t i actually just finished everything you suggested, except gave it a light hit with a maple...
Sorry lighting is shite

Hey,
Was trying so hard to not sand thru the cap, especially after all the warnings!! but of course i f*#ked up... bout 5mm diameter has been exposed on the carve of the top horn. Any cheeky fixes...
Thanks bud, not a big fan of fret buzz so i'll definitely go with the level.
Tool wise - i've only got a stewmac 12" radius block and straight edge... no crowning tools or any other specific...
hey,
This'll show my ignorance, but how are the frets straight out of the kit? Do they require levelling/ re-crowning etc... regardless or is it a matter of sussing it out with the mock build??...
Yeah I was chatting to the dude at bunnings, I picked it up of the shelf and he said metho does exactly the same thing for less $$. But good suggestion, I don't know s#*t really about dyes......
Hey Dennis,
This my first attempt at staining a guitar, particularly trying to pop the flame.
I used Feast Watson Prooftint from bunnings, first attempt (pic attached) 50/50 dye and metho... The...
haha yeah good call...
If anyone's interested i finally found some scrap maple at lazarides timber - Brisbane, for a test run. i attempted to pop the flame with diluted black dye, outback sunset over the top. Only the one...
Thanks woks!
Hey wokka, you got me thinking... the mahogany sides and back looks great, is there a particular brand of stain I should go for? Or just any generic mahogany wood stain.
Cool i thought the tape was the better option,
Thanks again mate.
Thanks Wokka, very helpful.
I was originally thinking of a darker side/back colour but yeah i reckon it'd look good all over. Been thinking about bursts (funny you mention it), but maybe on the next...
Makes sense now thanks man. Yeah i was gonna do the cap and sides/back, any idea how that looks? if not suggestions... i'm going with outback sunset.
Hey,
First build, any advice on dingo staining the body and neck all the same just using the body stain? To maintain continuity over the whole guitar what's the best way to attack it... Is there a...
Cheers Pablo, someone told me about gilltimber, was gonna give that a go.. looking at the other websites i should be able to find something suitable.
Appreciate the help... even better from a brissy...
Thanks guys nice one!
hey,
I've got an Es-1G with dingo outback-sunset on the way... is it possible to 'pop' the flame with some blackish dye initially, sand the shit out of it, then apply the natural finish? Is it...
Anyone got any feedback on the dingo outback sunset on flamed maple. Does an initial black dye then sand to pop the flame work with a natural finish?? Also any brissy locals that know where you could...
Nice one scott thanks man.
Thanks again!
Hope you don't mind but I may have a few other questions down the line... I'm only comfortable with electronics, but everything else in the build is new to me.
You seem very...
Hey I noticed 4 types of brass nuts on realparts, did you go for the Gibson one?
