Perhaps if I say wudtone 3 times in front of a mirror he'll appear

wudtone!
Welcome Andy - good to have you back with us
I was musing as to whether or how to apply something like a Rothko and Frost transfer to a headstock prepped with Wudtone.
I'm making a left handed Bass VI - I got the Black Magic Woman Kit for the body - for my birthday, just gone so thanks for that I'd like the Swamp Ash body as black as the Spinal Tap album...
As for the headstock:
I've been exploring a variety of options... painting the headstock face with nitro black and wudtone the rest - if I stained the face would the staining show at the sides? Most bodies are rounded or the same colour all over or bound... so just wondering.
I've also toyed with getting the neck makers - USACG to put their logo on it - it's routed and then filled with clear lacquer - so stain-proof I'd expect. Then I don't need to worry about transfers..
Then there's just popping the transfer on ... but at what stage ...
lots of questions - I was hoping someone had been there before
Sorry for the delay.
Okay - I see you sell an LP add on kit which has a kit for a black headstock face. I'd like to attempt the black headstock face on the Fender type headstock of the guitar I'm assembling. Does that sound feasable?
I can't see any instructions or recommendations on the site or youtube for masking the headstock when treating the headstock face - any words of advice?
Thanks
I've contacted 3 suppliers today - and you're the first to get back in fact I think that's some kind of record in getting back in all the stuff I've done!
Awesome I'm back feeling more excitement about this than apprehension - thank you
I really get the difference between woods too - as I suspected the swamp ash body guzzled up the deep colour coat - it's now coal black. The maple headstock much less so, it's a dark grey with a really good grain showing and pretty crisp corners - masked and then made good with wire wool.
I'm guessing the base coat can just be applied more times to the head-stock to get a matching colour between body and headstock... or do I try another deep colour coat first?
