Is Wudtone suitable for basswood ST-1

[wokkaboy]

Hi Walrus,
as promised pics after 3rd coat of surfer girl, I mixed about 25% white pigment into the surfer girl and it is slightly lighter in colour but I like it darker. My ST had a darker middle basswood piece and the surfer girl covers that pretty well. Some of the finish is slightly lighter as the grain doesn't soak up the wudtone as much, but thats a cool effect.
Hopefully I have sold surfer girl to you.
Might put one more light coat of the 25% white mix on tonight, then its silver highlights

cheers

For further validation of your choice, here's the thread to my JB-4 build. Finished in...You guessed it...

Rob - every time I see your guitar, I love it! Nice job... Good luck with GOTM!

Thanks Brendan. I'm gonna need a lot of luck with the GOTM, but its not about all winning, lol, says the losers.

With an axe like that, even if you don't win - you're still not a loser... Worst case scenario is you've got a nice guitar!

Thanks for this Wokka. I appreciate the pics. I love surfer girl, but I have actually had a change of heart and will be doing carmine gypsy. A few reasons for this, mostly that this guitar might end up as a gift for a mate and I found out he loves red strats.

I started sanding today, so I'll start a build thread.

Gday all. I have just finished top coats on ST -1 with 3-4 coats of faded fiesta underneath. Although not the quite the color I was after it has filled out very niely and the color is pretty solid.And the color is growing on me. In hindsight I would have applied the first coats of Fiesta thicker.SO there is always next time. Heaps of fun.Photos on the way .
