Haven't used Artist Inks but did the Red J Bass with combination of a high quality fountain pen ink and diluted Colortone Cherry Red stain. Probably the best stain job I have done and still looks great more than 18 months since it was completed.

On my Blue Tele I used ink jet Cyan Blue ink and diluted it down with water to get a more turquoise shade. Unfortunately using TO as the top coats has added a bit too much of a greenish tinge so it looks more aquamarine these days. For this reason I would not recommend TO over Blue as it is too hard to prevent it from going slightly green.

Both inked builds have remained colour fast but should mention I have experienced that TO does continue to 'age' or go a little darker over time, even if guitar has been kept in a case. On the MMB-4 it has a really nice aged butterscotchish look to it now compared to when I last worked on it around 5 months ago. Maybe leaving it hanging in my garage over summer which faces north may have also contributed as the neck is a fair bit darker compared to the natural neck on my J Bass. On my EX-1 it is now looking more like the Korina colour I was trying to achieve all along and that was done with TO on top of DT Coolangatta Gold about 2 years ago and happy with the gradual ageing effect it has had.

Just a few tips to look out for if using TO as the top coat.
