Time to start staining the guitar...

Lets get masking...



Okay now the guitar is sufficiently masked up we got busy with the watered down black dye.  This will soak into the 'flame' grain and when sanded back will really bring out the grain through the translucent top stain colour.





Despite a light sanding prior to the black stain we still have some grain locked by the glue from the binding.  Unfortunately because the veneer is so thin we can't risk sanding it down too much otherwise we may sand through it leaving none for the top stain to sit on.
