Hi Bulldozed.

Welcome to the forum.

You can achieve a low gloss or satin type finish with dingotone. I would use the stain, intensifier and final coat. Just don't buff it to a high gloss. In fact my TLA-1R is on the final coats as we speak, looking very satiny. I could choose to leave it that way or polish to a low or high gloss in 21 days time.

You can, I believe, use Dingowax as a finish instead of the final coat (or with it - correct me if i'm wrong DB). I think Shazzrandom finished her build with Dingowax. (Double check that fact). I dingowax my fretboards only but did contemplate finishing me tele with the wax.

Don't be too worried about "mucking it up" as I've done that ...hmmm... about 3 times on my current tele build. Just takes a question or two on the forum, a bit of elbow grease and a bit more patience and you'll come up with a finish to be proud.

You can also achieve a satin finish with Tru oil I believe, just dont buff it to a high gloss.

I've never tried the wipe on poly stuff, maybe one of the other guys can fill you in on that stuff.
