Hi AJ,

In all the excitement no one answered your question about Wudtone...

Wudtone is an oil and wax based lacquer.

Pros;

No toxic spray paints
Won't kill the tone of the Guitar
Easy to apply, just rag it on
fully cures faster than paint

Cons;

Have yet to find any!

Another question you may need answering is how to post pics.

Just click on the browse button in the box below and choose relevant photo off your computer. it is advisable that you reduce the pixsel size to approx 700 x 500...
You may need the help of a local 8 year old to show you how to do this, I know I did!

Hi dingoboss ,
the penny has finally dropped re the fret work, the links that were suggested really helped and that Luther's corner is a treasure trove of good info. The 8yr old showed me that you need to "quote' reply to be able to post pickies ), quick replies don't allow the option to do that... DOH!)

Wood tone - the colors you have displayed on the website, none have really grabbed my eye, maybe I am having trouble with the displayed colors? or difficulty in being able to envisage how they would stand out/ highlight when the clear coat is done. Convince me and I will go that path. my desired color is a deep burgundy for the back of the guitar/ neck if not, deep black is the next choice. Can the clear coat be built up to give an almost mirror gloss? sorta like what I did here with a bit of french polishing -

[AJ]

You've convinced me now and have ordered the custom wood tone kit

He phoned and threatened you again did he AJ because we don't see any convincing posts? )

Hi AJ,

Wow, that is one beautiful job of French Polishing!

With the Wudtone you can get a fairly high gloss, thin coats is the trick and then let it cure for a week at least then buff it with ultra fine polishing papers or pads.
The more you play the Guitar the shinier it will get.

You can get the polishing pads from www.thesandpaperman.com

Hey AJ, looks like DB's magic touch hit you from 3,000km away...
Good choice in getting Wudtone! Let's see what the flameyness (new word maybe???) does to you!

I seen an app a little while ago, forget where now, but you could do various stuff to see what the finish may look like, a spectacular one was black with silver tear drop.. no silver in wood tone yet...
So I'm going Please choose your with Gold highlights,
Top Coat: Extra gloss no ageing tint,
Inner Sunburst colour: Burning Sun,
Outer Sunburst colour: Mahogany

and we will see if the surface finishing gods are on my side ...lol

[Gavin1393]

Great choice of colours. You wont be disappointed.

[dingobass]

Hang on to your hats folks...

There are some exciting new Wudtone colours in the making.... A metallic grey/ silver is one of them :P

[keloooe]

AJ, those colours sound fantastic!!! Remember to watch the videos that the other Andy (the original creator of Wudtone made to show you how to get the burst!)

And DB, now I wanna do a Strat in metallic grey....
