Hello.
My first attempt at guitar building. I am ready to put a finish on it but I am a touch confused with all these different methods out there.
I am after a matte natural looking finish with the flamed maple top accentuated.
I have done research, and am currently planning on....
- A light amber water based dye.
- Layers of sanding sealer
- Layers of General Finishes Flat Out Top Coat
And then assuming I am done..?
So my questions, is a light layer of amber dye an optimal way to make the maple pop while keeping the original colour?
And are these the correct steps to finish the guitar once sanded?
So this is what i got.
And i want something close to this.
Thanks 🙂
