in Making & Modding
Just wanted to share a photo of my newly stained @GSPBASSES BillyBo.  This is a flamed maple top after just two coats of Crimson Guitars Stunning Stains black mixed 50/50 with water.

This will be de-nibbed then start on the oiling of it.
Hope you enjoy what you see  :)

    Looking good.  It'll look stunning once you've put on the finish coats :)

    Nice top man, you build it from scratch?

    It is rather guesswork as to how much stain is needed before applying the oil to deepen and enhance the colours without going too dark initially - my first go too!

    'Tis a @GSPBASSES ;build - I think we all know that top quality that means; I am merely doing the prep, staining, oiling and fitting of the hardware.  It has already been built up to test the wiring and plays lovely - super light in the hand too, as it's chambered.

    A quick wipe with a damp cloth (not dripping wet!) will give you a very good idea how much it will darken.
    if it was mine, I wouldn't be applying any more stain than you have here.

    My thoughts exactly - I did wipe it last night and it looks good 'damp', so I'll probably stick with what I have got now :)
