I have done five coats of hand rubbed poly on her now.....this is how she stands.
Today is an extra drying day due to rain...and I will be printing the headstock decals and may even sneak them on.
I really am considering just keeping the guitar as she is now. I think the decal plan I had with aussie flag stuff on the front and back will reduce the effect of the black over blue stain. I actually like it as it is.
Oh...notice the difference in colouring across woods.....the body and the neck of the 6 string are taking stain and poly with similar results...a blue to green colour.
Check out the back of the bass neck...blue to the end.
Amazing how the natural tones in wood can effect colours of stains and finishes. I like it better than paint...sorry paint people.
WAZZZ...you should come have another after work drop in and cast an eye over her for me. It helps....an objective view can find things I missed.
