    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...

    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-)
