    Wouldn’t it be cool if you actually told us wtf you’re using in the video to age the guard. What a concept! Make sure to just rub the alcohol and not swig it 🥂

      he's using a minwax wood stain. Probably one of the darker ones.

      There's a better way to do it. He used minwax ebony wood stain, and steel wool. That's fine. But, the way the pros do it is to use a spray gun, or airbrush, and lightly spray an Amber tinted laquer over it. Rub it with some steel wool, heat gun to lightly warm it up and then create little cracks near the screw holes with a small hammer. In reality many vintage guitars don't have heavy ageing. They just amber over time with common little cracks where the screws go.

      What's the point of showing that if you don't show what you used to make the relic colour. What a waste of time.

    Great job and the pickguard looks really aged and relicked. Quick question, you said, "I take this and dip it in that" , I see the link to the stain you used but what is on the rag to start?

    i left a white pick-guard out in my vehicle window for a couple months in the direct summer sun. it turned yellow, but it got a bit warped by the intense heat. it would probably work better in the winter time when its not as hot.

    I wish you would have just shown the can of stain you used. The eBay link doesn’t work it looks like something I could get at Home Depot but you could have just said the color. So some good info but it’s almost like your trying to keep it a secret too.

    Guys if you want a much better method than using toxic chemicals use coffee.
    Get a aluminium foil tray large enough to fit the guard in
    Boil the kettle
    I tea spoon of coffee per cup , and pour enough cups of coffee in the tray to cover the guard.
    Let it soak in there till you achieve the stain you want , it also works for the knobs and coil covers.
    Don't use toxic chemicals
    Simple .

      Burnt cooking oil is not only toxic, but a known carcinogen as well. I'll stick with tea and coffee. Also they won't leave your pickguard all greasy and stinking of stale French fries. Or just use wood dye.

    • @OnAir21
      @OnAir21 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It looks like an Allen Eden body. All of their nitro relic bodies have that exact same pattern, no matter the color or bridge option. I always see what I call “Cool Dog Falkor” on the upper horn (Neverending Story fans might see it too). And the two wear lines behind the bridge.
      Now, of course with many Chinese manufacturers, Allen Eden may not be the only seller of this pattern. But I’ve only ever seen it with them. They’re about $189 on their website or eBay normally, sometimes going on sale.

      Yeah, sure looks like the Allen Eden relic body. I think they overdo it, but they do use nitro even if the bodies are very light which makes me suspect a wood other than Alder, which is what they advertise. I'm also not crazy about their routing specs.
      I never had the relic, although I did have a Sonic Blue poly finish. I will say that the color was nice, which made me want to work with the neck pocket and a couple of other tweeks.
