    I’ve found when working with pine and other soft woods, I had to use a wood conditioner where I’ve wiped it on and wiped it right off - that made a huge difference, the stain took nice and even.

    I've got a "reasonable" guitar collection (don't ask my ex-wife) but I still don't have a green one. So rare to find a good green on a guitar worth buying so this post was a serious treat... and such a tease. ;-)

    Great black and green combination. Does the sanding sealer retain the color when the clearcoat is applied.

    Was just curious what size bottle your green was. when i went to the website to see what they had, they only seemed to have 3 oz bottles left, wasnt sure if that was enough to do a guitar or not.

    When you hit the sides with black you hot it pretty neat without getting any black on the top - is that easy enough to do or would you recommend a beginner like me mask the top first?

    Hey Derek,
    I just saw a maddening idea: checkout Fisher's shop on UA-cam. He's got a video called woven cutting boards. I think this could be a fantastic project for a guitar top. Could fit a tele design without a pickgard.
    Let me know what you think !
