Great work! I am a dentist and making guitars too , as a hobby. On staining I use artist grade water color. Found that very handy /easy to store, mix/dilution can be improvised readily. Also, surgical 4x4 gauze is great for application, no lint, plus the amount of dye/color absorbed in the gauze piece is almost the same all the time making the work consistent. You might consider these to expand your armamentarium!
This series has been more helpful than the two over two hundred page books that I've bought.Thank you very much! Could you possibly make a video explaining the build of semi hollow guitars if you haven't already?It would be very helpful
@@homebuiltshop - Thanks for the reply, Jeff! Thank you, I appreciate that! You're great at your craft, so it's a true joy watching your videos! Keep it up, man! Cheers.
Tip: Don't wear gloves. That way when people ask why your fingers are blue, you can tell them it's because you make guitars. That's a great way to promote what you do. Or you can tell them you have some kind of skin condition, which is a great way to keep the weirdos at bay. Great job by the way!
Thats weird you couldn't register. I'll check it out. I just added some until it "looked right". Lol. The cool part is if its not dark enough, you just add more powder, or if its too dark, add more water.
@@homebuiltshop I never got the confirmation email haha, thanks for the answer, I think I’ll just get a block of spare wood to test the colors. Good lookin!
Looks more purple than blue on the edges, but it may just be how the camera picks it up. Either way, I like it. I'd call it a Carribean burst, but that's just me. 😊😃😁
great job and a super process! I'd love to hear more information about the dye that you used. Hope to see this guitar finished in another video
👍👍👍👍 can't wait to see the final result great job.
Thanks. I'm quite pleased with the final result.
Nice to see some more guitar work. That's how I found your channel a few years ago :)
Thanks. There's more to come.

Thats a great idea. I'll see if I can get some gauze to try. Thanks for the tip.
Elsa would be proud. Great job Jeff
LOL, Thanks!

Looks awesome. I was thinking of doing a blue burst tele for my first guitar build, this video helps a lot, thanks!
Thanks and good luck on your build. Its going to be awesome.
Fantastic video! I really enjoyed it!
I would surely love to see a lot more like this!
Keep it up!
Cheers.
I will work on including more like this.

Haha!, Thanks. There have been so many times I haven't had gloves and walked around with dye all over me. Its funny really.
this happened today
Great video and lesson, but what sandpaper grit did you used? Thanks! :) and hope more videos will be made. :)
Looks really good, can't wait to see it finished....I'm thinkin' a mottled flame (or chemical) blued chrome hardware. Mmmmmmm.......
I want to do a similar finish on my Esquire. When you sand it back before adding the next colour, what grit do you use?
What do you use as a clear over top of the dye?
Hey Jeff, how much of the powder did you add? Was trying to ask on the forum but wasn’t able to register

Carribean Burst. I Like it.
Here's my comment. Seriously though, jokes aside, I like the finish videos.
I'll be doing more, as I work on them.
