Ok may as well throw my STA-1 into the mix. It's finished in Colortone blue dye over ebony Timbermate grain fill. The neck and headstock is Vintage Amber Colortone dye finished with Tru-Oil. The body is clear coated with Acrylic. The hardware is a gold upgrade kit from PBG, but otherwise stock. No electronics have been replaced at all.
cheers,
Gav.
