This may be a question best for DB, but i wasn't sure.
I am already throwing ideas about my next build, being an LP-1.
I've always wanted a wine red finish...like the LP studio and I am a massive fan of AJ's LP-1 in "modified mahogany".
Any suggestions as to the best way a beginner can achieve this, would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Andy,
The Dingotone Karijini red would go close, especially on lighter coloured timbers.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
What if Dingotone Karijini red is not available in your country?
Hey Fender, in that case I would say Colourtone would be the way to go..

I was afraid you might say that. Seems awfully pricy when I compare what you get from SM to what you get with the Dingotone kit <sigh>
fender3x you get alot of stain in a bottle of colortone
Yeah Fender3x, the Colortone from SM should be undiluted so a bottle should last you a fair while

I used uBeaut dyes on that one. The orange was straight from the tub.
