    I also will do an black nut on my build. First because the stock nut is just a piece of hollow cheap plastic and secondly because it will look better.

    Damn, Robbo, I know that Bondi blue just doesn't seem to take as deeply as the other DT colours, I do not know why....

    If you ever see my SGD-612, the body is Basswood and the necks are maple, I used Black stump, Karajini red, outback sunset and Coollangatta gold for the burst and I had no issues at all with the basswood grain taking the DT. I sanded to 240 grit then, ebony timbermate to seal it then sanding again to 240 grit before applying any DT. basswood and maple had no problem taking the stain at all

    I am completely stumped here mate sorry
    Its not just DT, I remember the Wudtone blues and greens also gave "patchy" results. Obviously something about how those colours work with wood. Or maybe its a perception thing, perhaps browns, yellows and reds are also as "patchy" but don't look like it.

    I'm not too worried about the failed stain experiment to be honest. I'm looking forward to getting it painted up and playable. Ordered the new black nut today

    Robbo.

    So what are you thinking colour-wise for the over paint?

    Sorry, been pretty busy. I have chosen this colour



    Should look pretty cool with the chrome Bigsby style tremolo I think. Is it close to SFG?

    Looks more blue than green.....let's just call it turquoise.

    Either way it looks much better now.
