Final body colour, not the best photo, but I am happy with it.

This colour looks very similar to one of my STA-1 builds. Check out https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...l=1#post225886.
My one was blue U-beaut water-based dye, finished with tru-oil coats. I expected the tru-oil to change the colour, but it was not a big change!

Hi Trevor, that's really awesome.
My colour came from a mix of Tru Oil and Mixol, about 13 coats of tinted oil, and then another 15 of straight Tru Oil over the top.
Wow! That came out great. You have to be happy with that blue stain!...or I guess it's a tint. In whatever case it came out really well.
