    so I had seen one of thise videos already in all my searching. I have already started on the method I have chosen. I have been hand sanding for several hours to get the black dialed back to show the quilting. Its not going to be the exact finish i desired, but I think its going to look very good, I also hand carved the headstock to match the LP look. Here are some pictures up to this far.Click image for larger version.

    Thank you, so I have been very busy today as you'll see by the pictures. I figure out to get the exact finish i was seeking in the first place. So the black was straight forward, black it and sand it back to show the grain. I accidentally figured out how to get the white, i meant to do a wipe down with my mineral spirits, and used my acetone instead. Well it turns out that the acetone does a bleach like effect. I then airbrushed cyan blue, this also was a water based ink meant for craft rubber stamps, and sanded the blue back to reveal the silver. I am still getting the final tone where I want it. But here are the update pictures for today.Click image for larger version.
