Looks beautiful! The Dingotone has worked wonders here, which bodes well for my venture into it.

Thanks JeffSheridan... do you have a build diary of yours?

Hey Beef, looks good with the first coat! As you apply more stain, it will get redder. Also try applying as much as possible (and evenly too) in one coat, can get more in at once, especially when the timber is beginning to soak it in like a sponge!

Also, here is Jeff's build diary: http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=3757

There is no more stain
Dingotone comes in Base coat (red), enhancer (red), and clear coat.
I'm out of base coat.
lets hope the enhancer does its job.
I'm not unhappy with it, but could be happier.

Thanks for the link to jeff's fred

Hey Swinging Beef looking awesome. Did you tape off the binding or you have cleaned them up ?
Bushfire sunrise is a more red colour where Uluru red is more a scarlet/purple red colour.
The colour should continue to deepen with intensifying coats

[Swinging Beef]

No taping of binding.
Just gave it vigorous rub with a cotton pad, the same ones I put the stain on with, three days later and it came off the binding.
I just got back from Uluru, so I couldn't help myself.
The colour will be what it will be. Its still pretty.

[wokkaboy]

yes uluru is a fantastic colour. You can always try a different stain next build. Karijini red is a much darker deep red as well looks great

[Swinging Beef]

'next build o_O

[Jeff Sheridan]

Yeah Beef looks good! I'm just a little ahead of you on my project. I rattle can'd my guitar with flat black and then satin finish over that. I looked at that circuit also but wanted to do something with less pots. Wierdbits came up with a diagram that's on my build thread and that's what I went with: pickup selector top front, master volume bottom front, pickup balance and master tone bottom left. I plugged the other hole up top which wasn't a problem since I was painting solid color. I ran wires I thru the various holes and attached them to the pots then pulled them thru that way. Look forward to seeing your progress!
Aloha, Jeff
