Well, I'm still waiting for my friend's feedback regarding all the sugestions from all of you.
Before I bought the kits from Pitbull, my wife offered me a LP kit from Crimson Guitars for my birthday. That one doesn't come with drilled holes for the bridge, and as it is an expensive but gorgeous kit, I put it aside for now... and in that period I bought Crimson Guitars Stunning Stains.
I've been playing around with the stains during the weekend trying to achieve a different color that my friend likes with some wood samples
Steps:
- Sanded from 80 grit up to 120 grit
- Applied 2 coats of grain filler and sanded
- Stained the color
- Applied two coats of Crimson Guitars Penetrating Oil...
I think the color is too faded, and should be more darker....
Also, I think that I'm not appliyng the grain filler the right way. The grain filler I'm using is https://tinyurl.com/tfl8yso. In another test piece, I've followed the same steps, but the grain was filled with white material in some spots, and I suppose it is the grain filler. The first one that I show you doesn't have it. So, my conclusion is that I'm also applying the grain filler incorrectly....
I think that I'm doing something wrong... What do you guys think?
