Incoming kit - colouring contentiousness

TheOtherDennis

Thanks very much, I appreciate it, in fact have your very first fret on me, but the thing is I already have that, so I'd quite like the PRS-style thing to be summat else. The questions are what and how? :-?

cacophony

i built a prs styleee thing from a kit 2 years ago. beware the un-veneered bit on the `horns` that you describe. i did mine in a very deep purple, and no matter how i tried those bits took the colour differently than the rest of the front. it turned an enjoyable build into a trial. took many stains, and rubdowns to get anywhere near the colour on the rest of the front. in the end i had to walk away as i was getting the thousand yard stare with it.couldn`t get a precise match, as a result it still bugs me now even though it`s sat in a case unplayed for the two years...

A darker burst would probably hide the mismatch

cacophony

the same thought has occurred to me. funnily enough i had it out of the case today , and am considering having another go at it, strip it back, and start again. don`t know, maybe...
