as mentioned before Keda wood dye is great for this, it comes in 5 packs with, red, yellow, blue, brown and black and from that you can pretty much make any colour you want. I order from E-bay since i live in Greece, its easy and comes in at about 15 euros. You can stain an awful lot with that
Love this company its amazing in everyway no matter what guitar you get it will be quality even the standard se version its just simply amazing there detail
I saw somewhere they spray the sealer first before grain filling so it only stains the grain.@the810dude

If I'll earn a lot of money one day, a PRS Dragon will definitely be on my shopping list! I adore that fingerboard inlay; I doubt that I'll ever play it just to not mess it up ;)
I don't suppose you could share the type of stain and more info on the process? Stain or Dye? Cut with? Looks like you applied a yellow, then a darker amber-yellow to bring out the flames, is that right? I wouldn't have thought of doing them at the same time.. something to try assuming I understand what you're doing. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.
I don't know if it's right but i recently saw someone on youtube doin it with office depot ink... American men and in France we have also office depot selling this ink.
PLEASE can anyone help me!! I want to stain my guitar top but I'm from the netherlands and I don't know where I can get that stain ink. Anyone here know what it's called in dutch or where I can get it?? You would help me allot if I get an answer!! thanks.
Do you fill before staining then?? don't you want the wood to soak up the stain properly? then fill before spraying so it doesnt take 400 layers of lacquer :) ?
daliks he might have been meaning to say sanding sealer or this might be their “PRS” terminology to sanding sealer. Basically sanding sealer fills in all the tiny imperfections from sanding that will pop out after you apply clear coat. So it’s clear and sort of makes a flat smooth surface. I use to work in the piano restoration business and we would prep, sand, stain, sanding sealer and last clear coat. But then again I’m not PRS so I could be wrong here with what guy here is talking about but otherwise grain filling after applying dye doesn’t make sense. If you ever need sanding sealer a great company is Mohawk, just google Mohawk Sanding Sealer spray.
For this one, yeah. But for others--it depends on the effect you're going for. You can grain fill and then seal, or you can seal and then grain fill. The absolute best way to decide is to practice on sample chunks of the same wood and take notes because the difference can be remarkable. One way is not necessarily better than another way. The biggest mistake newbies make is jumping right in and staining the Piece That Matters without practice/experimentation first to determine what they like. Getting a bad stain job out of a premium piece of wood is neither fun nor completely successful.
Hope you use a better photographer now. The quality of the video obviously does not match the quality of workmanship in building and finishing PRS guitars.

that job is like being in heaven seeing all those beautiful guitars
thank you so much for the educational video! I'm staining my own quilted maple top so it's very useful to know how you guys do it on the real thing
I love any hand stained guitar. They're freaking beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Rick!
Beautiful!
gives me goosebumps

What kind of tape do you mask the body off with? I’ve not found one that seals well enough.
love that guitar. not really a fan of the burst. trying to find one with nice top without the fancy enlays currently
The lines in the wood is part of the wood or made? Would anyone be able to tell me how to do that if it's not the wood?
it is the wood itself, called flamed maple. you can also get quilted maple which has its own unique look.
Wow, it's beautiful. Looks expensive though. Oh I lied it's only $99 on Stewmac wowza.
you say you grainfill after sealer?
Ah,um,stain,ah,um,um,ah,um,um,ah,stain
Sounding like Barack Hussein Obama.
someone knows please tell the name of the product he used to dye the guitar?
Sure. PRS house made stain, available for purchase absolutely nowhere.
Just try angelus leather dye
I believe they use aniline dyes
The quality of stain is important however, I would say the quality of the wood is more important
Keda dye
Didn't he say that he was supposed to cover the inlays on the top aswell? :-P
what was the color of the 2nd stain ?
Probably orange.

You don't want "stain". You want dye. Leather dyes are vibrant, cheap, easy to apply and are the same formula as expensive wood dyes.
it looked like they already were covered
I think they use je moser's aniline dye. Not 100% sure
Grain fill AFTER staining? OK. Something new to try.
Do you fill before staining then?? don't you want the wood to soak up the stain properly? then fill before spraying so it doesnt take 400 layers of lacquer :) ?

2 different color stains applied
Talk about a marmite guitar you either love it or you hate it and I think that neck fucking ruins it
If you don't apply the coat evenly, it will lead to a blotchy appearance, and won't make it past the QC stage
240p shot on a potato.
PRS please don`t call it a binding when its an exposed top edge and not a binding.

I can't believe PRS use Nitro its terrible stuff.
Woe that was the laziest application so far....how about multiple fades, possibly different colors? How boring.
