    Heres my Agile 2200, it blends from a blonde to Red to a nearly brown because of the 3 piece Mahogany, it looks nice really up close and plays great. I got the guitar very cheap because of the finish, you dont play the finish haha

    Now that looks awesome. I think yours is even better than the red finish. And I'm with you on not playing the finish, I actually prefer used guitars with some dings or otherwise imperfect finishes. Means you can get on with the business of playing the thing and not care about adding 'character' to it. One of my other guitars is a Les Paul Standard DC Plus. Very nice guitar. Very Pretty. Has spent most of its life in a wardrobe.

    Colour advice

    I want to do this in Dingotone. Not sure on colour though, perhaps another burst. Any suggestions?

    Hey Bluesy,
    being mahogany browns, reds look good, maybe you could do a red/brown/black burst would be cool

    there are 3 DT reds to choose, bushfire sunrise is the lightest, that would look great in the centre of the burst, then nullarbor ochre, then use your black stump for the edges

    I like the TV yellow too, but since I'll be using Dingotone, I'm not sure about yellow (Coolangatta Gold?) on Mahogany.

    I think you're onto something here Wokka. This might be the way to go. I read DB's post today about Dingotone MKII, so I'm holding out for the new batch.

    Funnily, I have a TV yellow on the list of colours to make....... Guess I will have to make it now

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
