Nice shade of purple on the front of the Les Paul there, really looking forward to seeing what the finished guitar looks like.


I didn't think you could actually use printer ink as a stain on guitar bodies so there's a new one for me.

Thanks DrN.

Plenty before me have used it, so i hope it's safe. The only real issues are if it reacts to the clear. Being water based, it should be fine

Saw a guy on The Electric Guitar Builder's Resource page on FB used blue Kool Aid, and it looked awesome

Here you go.
If you can finally find the guitar in this picture, it was stained with Kool Aid:

I guess it depends on what kind of clear coat you use, but I agree, if the stain is water based it should not react at all provided you've given it plenty of time to dry so it doesn't run.

That's exactly right, mate. As long as you don't react with your clear coat then you are pretty right
