Hi nDroid,
might be worth you asked DB for a yellow CG rather than gold. TO gives it a slight yellow tint but should be fine.
Someone on the forum recently built or aquired a Slash LP was yellow or gold, can't remember who.
Should look excellent on the quilted maple. Hate how the 'other' factory pre-drills all the holes and its a bolt on neck

So the unit in question is at:
Build diary
http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=3847
Skip to page 11 and onwards.
It was one coat of Dingotone Coolangatta Gold colour, two intensifier and three coats of finishing coat. Then a number of very thin, hand rubbed tru-oil coats until I had the satin finish I wanted.
I hope this helps

Well after all the (dumb) questions I've asked, it's time to pay some of it forward.

Thanks Rabz. That is a sweet looking gold. I'm after more of a lemony yellow. Like what you got after 1 coat on the LP on page 3, #25. I'd really like it if my QM came up like that. Maybe no intensifier coat and no TO like you used?

I can do a yellow.
Just order it as a custom colour and add a note and it shall be done
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

Thank you very much DB. Will get around to it as soon as the Ministress of Finance allocates a budget for it
