Cool D That dye looks better than the RIT dye, I got a bottle of royal blue and it more like a black purple but I seen you use navy blue was it? And it went on blue, have you had something like this happen … Big D from New Zealand
You've probably already answered this, but you know how tru oil really brings out the grain in something dyed. Will the sanding sealer affect this in any way? Would the grain pop as much if I just gloss coat it anf forgo the tru oil?
Is there a way to get in touch with you? I have a great les paul I'd like to turn into a nitro dark back gold top. deep dark translucent finish on the back and a darker copper aged gold on the front. no relicing. its a 2002 les paul classic.
if the wood of the body is so important to the final sound as luthiers say, why do you guys always fill it up with holes, wires, metals and plastics? those are acoustic obstacles. chhanges in constructive materials work as acoustic filters, that let somme frequencies pass threw, but stop or reflect some others. why the guitar shapes prioritize ergonomy over acoustic? guitars shapes are not audiodynamic, they don't have water drop shapes, or elyptical, or spyromorphic features, such as the volutes in violins heads. it's the oposite, they have cuts to make them easy and more confortable to play, os just to look cool. why there are no guitars whhich have the electronics on a board outside the body of the guitar? that would defenitely improve the inner conduction of sound waves, I'm I wrong?
Big D is like the Bob Ross of guitars. I love these videos..
Thanks Derek for my guitar body , I’ll put up pics when the guitar is finished
These vids never get old. 😊🔥

That's a unique look. I think the amount of yellow was good.
Thanks for the video Derek - Cheers from Canada
Cool finish!
Jems almost need paint to deal with all the contours and routs but all in all, you did good as usual! ✌️&💙
The amount of stuff I learned from your videos is amazing. Keep those coming.
Fantastic to see you back and with one of my favourite bursts you do ❤
looks great dude
I love your videos. I keep going back and forth between hiring you to do an upcoming guitar i plan to make, but i really want to finish it myself...

Just when you think you're safe BAM! VERY COOL COLORING
Is that body not a Steve Vai Ibanez?
I like the burst, but not the guitar body itself……not your fault, nice work.
