And here she is, LP S1 finished with Wudtone.. with added bling!
Bucket, DB that's one gorgeous looking guitar! What PUP's have you used? How does it sound?
(Actual word I would have used rhymes with bucket in case anyone is left wondering why I was referencing a Michael Jackson offspring....)
here here, look fwd to hearing it and great use of gold highlights.
for info , you can use the highlights in two ways.
1 add some to the base coat and this will give a slight metallic effect to the overall result, it will also highlight/gilt curves due to light reflection.
2 rag the highlight on its own into any grain pores etc , before top coats, works well on ash to highlight the grain.
Also a good option on mahogany for a darker contrast colour is the Mahogany or Dark Onyx, these are fine particle, dye only based ( like Carmine Gypsy) and so make sure every element of grain character is popped ( as opposed to Black Magic Woman, which also contains pigment so a more solid colour, ( with enough base coats can be achieved).
Great stuff
Thanks for the input Andy.
I am doing some experiments with the Randy Rhoads inspired kit... Black Magic Woman sanded back to bare wood in places and then Carmine Gypsy over the top. Also scratched the surface up with 40 grit paper..
Then rubbed in Gold Highlights...
Interesting effect
kind regards
