That butterscotch ... mmmm. I wonder if I have any lollies in the cupboard?

That butterscotch looks great, especially on the neck.
yeah the butterscotch looks good and I was hoping to get a second coat on but ran out of time. The neck had a prior coat of coolangatta gold but the butterscotch is deeper in colour.
@ Nick I need to get some more purple to try and I've run out of test bodies !

I have a guitar I want purple for, please release it !!
G'day, gave the LP-1P and ST neck a second coat of butterscotch, very happy with the intensity of the colour. Will see how it looks after a third coat and it could be ready for clearing. Have to decide what colour to do back/sides

Any updates on the blue wokka?
Anyone done a burst with the dingotone yet?
Hey Ihasmario,
I took some sample stains for Ads to photograph last weekend, he hasn't updated the pics on the PBG website yet, but here's the bondi blue after 4 coats. I think this body is not how it will typically look, as quite a few areas the stain hasn't taken but I like the look.
I haven't done a full DT burst but here's a ST I did with outback sunset and air brushed a black and red burst line on. Sure a full DT burst would work fine

I'm doing a black burst with the nullabor ochre, pics are up on the thread "Custom IB-7" I'm only half way through but I've got to say its going amazing. The only qualm I have with dingotone is that it dries very slowly compared to other finishes.Originally Posted by ihasmario
Yes, the DT does dry slower than most..
I have your health and safety in mind so there are no toxic dryers added.
Also, i am hoping to instill a slow build/ finish ethos as this will always give you a far superior end product.
Typically my scratch builds take three months minimum before i call them done. Most of this time is spent on the finish!
Because i am anally retentive about my finishes i leave each coat to dry for at least a week
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Well that settles it, I think I'll be going for a blue burst on my next build. Which is what I wanted before but it turned out green
