Hi gang, I'm looking to get some DingoTone neck finish for Elmo, but I was interested to know the differences in shades/colours between the three available. Is there a colour comparison chart I've missed?

hey BG, might pay to message DB, I've forgotten. I have a feeling bloodwood isn't red its more a vintage amber I think. Acacia might be more brown. Mission Beach looks almost orange and colourless speaks for itself.
So the neck or fingerboard have no finish on them ? seems strange for a factory build
Current Builds and status

MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
I've used the neck clear coat and yes, it was clear! On a maple neck it added a very slight tinge to the natural colour (like wipe-on-poly but not as yellow)

It was a custom order- from what I've seen the fretless Tele basses are similar. I won't be putting a finish on the fingerboard, but the neck in Acacia sounds rather lovely.Originally Posted by wokkaboy

BG before you order the DT neck kit just check with DB, my guesses of the colours could be way off !

OK. Acacia is close to the modern F company neck colour.
Bloodwood is a vintage amber F typeesque colour
Mission Beach is a more golden colour, designed to really compliment the red and scarlet hues of DT..
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Bloodwood sounds ideal. Order shall be placed- thanks, DB!

Hi
This is the neck and fretboard colour of my 1981 Schecter.
What is the best approximation of this? I assume bloodwood from the earlier posts?
Also how would I finish the fretboard as its very pale?

cheers, Mark.
Nice looking guitar
Looks pretty close to what i want - what did you finish the fretboard with? (if anything)
There was some concern earlier in the thread that the stain on the fretboard may wear through?
Regards
David
