ES in I am not sure what happened but i like it by Dingobass

Yeah, well, this was meant to be Cherry Flamenco but.....

I would call it a burnt orangie type of colour.

How did I get this?
Easy, don't read Andy's instructions properly and steel wool between deep colour and base coats...

Anyhoo, I kinda like it and more importantly, Miss Fiona likes it so it must be good 8-)

You've created a new Wudtone colour! Call it desert sunset maybe?

Edit: I should mention that I love the look of this guitar too

You will need to convince Miss Fiona that your need is greater than mine...
And the excuse that you own a Super Reverb amp won't cut it with Miss Fiona, you will need to come up with a plausible and inarguable case.

I wish you luck my friend. Many have tried, many have failed.....dismally. I am amongst their number...

I love it when people don't follow Andy's instructions properly and a whole new colour is created!!! That looks awesome my good friend!!!

Hang on, so your NOT supposed to steel wool after the single deep colour coat????

[dingobass]

Only if you are doing a Cherry finish Pest. :P

[keloooe]

So steel wool for everything but Cherry then?
And only one deep colour?

Pest its up to you how many deep colour coats you apply. If you want a darker colour then no steel wool between deep coats and keep deep coating till you are happy with the colour

I put about 3 deep coats on the LP-1S and FV-1 to get a deeper colour

DB may disagree and say you should lightly steel wool between deep colour coats to key the wood surface, which is a good idea

so now you are only 2 hours ahead bro

Actually I don’t disagree with you Wokka.
If I want a really deep colour I wont steel wool until the 3rd deep colour coat. 8-)
