I’m using Rothko and Frost spirit based dyes for the whole project – (Spirit Based Dye). I’m also using thier products for most of the top coats (nitro for the headstock, water based for the body). The one exception is the back of the neck which will be Birchwood Casey Tru-oil,
The headstock is masked to minimize the amount of clean-up on the edges I’ll need to do (using a double layer of painter’s tape). A single black coat is first applied, which will be sanded back.
