Another work build!
The body was stained with Ubeaut water dyes (diluted to 25%, 2 coats) Red, Orange, etc. The purple (!!?) was a mix of red and blue. The neck is 5% cedar. The body was given 3 brushed on and 6 wiped on coats of Tru-oil. The neck was 10 coats of tru-oil. Both sanded along the way up to 2000 g. The headstock logo is a Cricut vinyl sticker put on after coat 3. The serial number is stamped on, filled with ebony Timbermate and sanded flat before the stain and Tru-oil.
Stock hardware except for the black pickguard.
Not my usual as far as colours go! I was trying to use all the colours in the Ubeaut water dye set! (I should have used the black instead of my purple). I used masking tape to guide the placement of the colours, and then tried to blend the edges (which was quite difficult).
