My thoughts were...PBH4 kit, DingoWax to fingerboard and overall finish. Coolangatta Gold on the body, and Acacia on the neck. I would really like to see a neck with the finishes on it to make a choice.

Thanks,

Greg

Hey Greg,

The Acacia is a darker golden yellow and the Bloodwood is amberish...
You can use the body colour on necks as well, all you need is the neck finish coat over the stain coat..

Note to self- DB, take more pics of the neck finishes!

So DB, I could do a PBH-4 kit with Coolangatta Gold on the body and neck....and then just wipe the neck final coat over the top? That sounds cool.

But to get a more vintage amber tone...is the bloodwood a better option??? Just to break up all that gold/yellow a little. Is the Acacia a different yellow....like the TL vintage finish?

I am still amazed at the different tones a more natural finish can give you as opposed to paint or polyurethane. Looking forward to hear what dingotone can produce. What is the suggested maintenance on the finish? Just a regular wax and buff?

Hey Greg, sure you can put dingotone gold on the neck and clear neck coat over it.
Sounds like bloodwood a good amber option for the neck would look good. DB says the acacia is a darker golden yellow.
You can wipe the Dingotone wax finish over the neck/fingerboard and body and it smells great

Thanks WOKK.

Yeah I think the Coolangatta Gold Body kit with the Bloodwood neck kit would a good combination. Now just have to get the dollars out of the family budget for a xmas pressie for me. This building thing is addictive. I can play BASS better than Rhythm or Lead so it appeals to make a guitar I will actually enjoy playing. Love the range here....think a stingray style may be next.

sounds good Greg and yes building axes is very addictive

Woks is right on the money, the Bloodwood will bounce off the Coolangatta Gold beautifully.
And yes, the Dingowax is perfect for the fingerboard and as a general extra protective coating on the body.
