Quilted Maple Stratocaster | DIY Leather Dye Fire Burst | How To In Real Time!
Рет қаралды 35,440
2 жыл бұрынIn this video I show you how I used Angelus leather dye to stain the top of a quilted maple Stratocaster style guitar body. It's much more simple that you think it would be and just requires some imagination and creativity with colors.
Huge shoutout out to Tye at Shock the Fox ( tinyurl.com/yuxw3595 ) for sending me this quilted maple top. This guitar wouldn’t be the same without it.

Looks fantastic but like you said, after the pickguard goes on it's a different story. The only thing that makes sense on a strat (traditional routing where the pickguard must go on) is a Martin style burst where it closely follows the contours of the body.

I received my Angelus Leather Dye starter set yesterday to use on woodturning projects. It is a great product! Much more intense pigment than General Finishes waterbased dye and it doesn't raise the grain. For a little more than $50 you can choose 12 colors to experiment with.

@jerryodom7358 Жыл бұрын
Do you shake your dyes before use? It seems to me that rear mounted electronics and side hole for the input jack would allow for a full quilted top without the use of a pick guard….that would be beautiful..

What prep was done to the wood besides sanding, e.g., sealing conditioner? I’ve worked with stains but not dyes before.

Do you have a video of the final finish including the clear lacquer?

@ronniebroussard3751 Ай бұрын
Awesome job Nick but I wish you would’ve finished it to see the final finish and see what products you used to do the job. What black lacquer, sanding, sealer, and clearcoat product did you use? I am thinking about doing a Strat myself and I really like what you did but I’m new to it and since you are a woodworker, I believe I could trust the products and the process that you would present, I still would like to know the product you would suggest if you could reply to my post. I would really appreciate it. By the way I subscribe to your channel.

Question with these Angelus dyes. If you mix neutral with just a few drops of black will it just be black or will it dilute down to a thin greyish? Basically can I do that and get a faux sand back look? For a thin assed career that can't be sanded back at ALL, would that work? (Obviously a newbie)
@stephencraig8578 7 ай бұрын
Do you assemble the guitar before you dye it to make sure that it plays ok? Then disassemble?
@andrewsantos3283 6 ай бұрын
Better on a rear routed guitar. The entirety of the stain will pop. Great colours btw.

IT ENDED UP BY LEAVING A CRAZY UGLY PAINT... YELLOW IS ESSENTIAL AND MUST BE APPLIED FIRST. RED FOLLOWS BLACK. HOWEVER, THE BLACK APPLIED BEFORE MUST BE SANDED ALMOST COMPLETELY. STAY SHIRT PORC TO CAT
