The first time I tried Keda wood dye I got that same exact finish - by accident. I was going for burgundy. I started with red, but it was way too light - bubblegum pink. I tried to darken it with some blue and got what you have. Later I saw a PRS vid on staining. It's how they get their "raspberry dragon's breath" type finishes.
The guitar neck is coming along nicely. Nice color. You might try scraping just the dots with a sharp razor blade to remove unwanted color from them. Just be careful not to scratch them.
If it mix... I nix. Unless I am doing something in a full on shop for that specific purpose I try not to use things that have to be mixed other than like powdered dyes and water or thinning down paint before spraying. One they are sloppy. Two they dont age well, and three they tend to be serious fire hazards. The color looks bright and even and really came to life under the wet resin. Dont forget to clean them fret slots good and maybe even several times so they dont give you an issue later with being filled with hard plastics.
Thankfully, the Crimson dyes don't require mixing. And yeah, I think at this point, I cut the fret slots a grand total of 5 times. I need to work on order of operations some more.
That stain looked amazing, I'm sure it will look mint under some lacquer 👍
I hope so! And I need to get moving on that real soon. Temps in the shed are dropping below the recommended temps for nitro already.
Loving the color, brother. Glad to see you back at it!!!
I keep working - it's the editing I'm not very diligent about 😂
I also dig the color
Thanks man!

Cool!

I might try that idea in the future!
Been waiting for this for ever now hahahaha, thanks Mr & Mrs Unit, cheers!
Yeah, I know. Between work, the bands, and building when I can, the editing is falling behind.
@@eklypse69 All good mate, worth the wait!
Spiders in resin.... interesting idea for inlays on a goth themed guitar... 😂
DUDE! I don't know if I wanna try and catch enough of them to make it worth while. 😂
You're not gonna name that thing Barney, are ya? Sorry!!! couldn't resist!!! 😆
Ha! No. Even if I was the kind of guy that named his guitars, (I'm not) that would never be an option lol
@@eklypse69 Yeah, naming guitars is a little weird. Maybe I'll try it. I'll name mine Gary. 😆😅😂🤣

@@eklypse69 I think we ALL refine our process to become more efficient and effective. Thats what separates the armatures from the big leagues..
