This is a ES-1Q build I just complete.It's only my second attempt at Nitro Lacquer. I was really surprised at how these colors came together. The stains and Nitro lacquer are from ColorTone. I would've loved to use some Dingo Stains but can't have it sent to the US. The back and side is a special blend of Vintage Amber tinted down with a tad of Tobacco Brown. The front was stained in water and alcohol with 3 different colors (black, cherry red, and blue) to achieve this purple, then sealed and cleared over. She's been wet sanded from 600 to 2000 grit then polished with medium and compounds plus swirl remover and buffed with drill attachment. The head stock decal was made at a local company near home. I always wanted a hollow body guitar and now I finally have one. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
