Fantastic Derek, thank you again for sharing your knowledge and providing some inspiration. I have a quick finish question concerning a figured roasted Ash body, I reached out to you through email.

[@jeffallen3382]

I'm glad you used these colors on this! This is probably in my top 3 all time favorite ones you have done Derek! Nice job!

[@TedTalksGuitars]

This is very helpful. Thank you. I am going to try this next week on a kit build.

[@redryderaus]

You truly are a master of staining. This looks spectacular.

[@danandratis]

Derek, really like the burst, the K.H. top again is outstanding - thanks for the video - Cheers from Canada

That body is insane! You really set it on fire. Dashing!

thanks buddy hope all is well.

[@tuowele]

The Mohawk sanding sealer is not available in the Netherlands, do you maybe know another common equivalent for the sealer?

[@jamesgarcia7252]

Love your work! Great stuff! Thank you for sharing your work with us. I've learn quite a bit from you. Thank you!

[@tomdellinger3710]

Thanks for sharing this one. I think I just found the path I want to follow on my current build. Been enjoying all your videos for a while.

[@robertr4193]

Nice looking guitar body. The oil really brought out the redder tones in the back stunning.

[@CMDPromptify]

Hoooooollllyyyy cow that's a gorgeous finish. DANG

[@stephenbarton2625]

Just learned something new- again! You continue to be an amazing guide thank you!

Totally Awesome Here

[@_mysilentblue2227]

That came out fantastic, frigin artist.

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

Derek, I think I will try this on a test piece for the one piece bass, dark to light to dark fade effect, to highlight the junction! This one is gorgeous, and I have all those colors on hand!! Thanks for all the inspiration and education, from you branch of the KZbin University of Knowledge.

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

That would be killer, Spike! Can't wait to see how it comes out!

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

@@jeffreyeagen4896 no doubt about to go live and test

Beautiful work, Big D.

[@ajbrown]

And it's mine! Great job on this one. I've got a nice roasted maple neck for it.

[@briansimpson8116]

Another awesome job Derek

[@WeAllFloatHere]

I’m going to try this with a green burst with the angelus green and black dyes this weekend. Super nervous as I’ve never done a burst and you make it look so easy lol. Going to watch through this a few times and hopefully it works out!

[@kirkscobey3031]

You always seem to know when I want a new guitar but am cash poor!!! Beautiful build😩😩😩😩

[@claudevieaul1465]

That's a magnificent burst... A bit like bourbon, but the yellow just jumps out!

[@ronmorey3475]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@MrBobwood22]

Love this color. Well done D

[@davidhession4753]

Wow that is awesome ❤😊

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

Man that is gorgeous!!

[@Badhands55]

Looks fantastic!

[@rebeccaphillips3254]

Beautiful ❤️😎🎸📽

[@terjeweum3677]

Do you have kind of clear paint as the last thing you do ? Love that Lemon 👍 Will any leather dye do the mission / ???

[@symarshall792]

Absolutely love this finish, it's awesome. One question, do you sand it back between sanding sealer coats? Cheers

[@TheGorillafoot]

Awesome video man!

[@brianwarford4041]

great video, I have a couple questions about time. how long did you let it sit after the steel wool before the sanding sealer, and then how long after the sanding sealer before the tru oil? thanks! I'm about to do my first angelus dye job on a guitar that I had to redo because I had issues with the dye that I used and had to sand it all off. would hate to mess it up again.

[@MarkGray1970]

That looks great!

[@VoyeurGuitars]

Man, that one came out amazing!

[@markbundy1694]

[@bigdguitars]

thanks!

[@nokniramit3522]

Hi ,I’m your fan since a while,wanna ask you a question that angulas dyes that you used is for the leather ?

[@fredscott7534]

This is beautiful. Reminds me of one of the new revstar guitar colors. Can you show how to fade these colors from one side to another like in the revstar.

looks stunning, it has that golden amber look similar to some koa top guitars

[@chickbelanger5145]

beautiful dude!

[@TavaresProject]

That is stellar

[@Terry3Gs]

Yeah that came out awesome !!

[@robertgibsontaylor2150]

Do you have any videos on staining and sealing mahogany bodies like the LP Jr? Looking at a Precision kit that I want to build, but want a natural or stained finish, not painted. Thanks

[@thedude7450]

Stained my first ever build with these dyes yesterday. Just one solid color since I am learning. It came out a blotchy mess, I have been steel wooling and sanding today trying to even it out to make it look decent. What in the heck did I do wrong?

[@theAxehound]

I'm not a sunburst fan, but that's sexy!! I like how you matched the flaming all curved like that!! That's super unique, normally you always get the typical Tiger striped matching.

[@unktopia]

That back looks good enough to be a front!

[@Curtislow2]

I was like, NOOOO! when you went to the black. But I was wrong. You are the master of Staining! Beautiful result. I was wondering what red would look like if added?

[@wombat6]

same! I thought he was about to ruin the stain with that black until he did the steel wool. My guess is, the wood was already saturated with yellow, orange and brown, so when he applied the black, most of it actually just sat on top of the wood, so that's why it came off at the end.

[@bigdguitars]

yes! less saturation.

[@bigdguitars]

red wouldn't let the yellow shine through as much and would make the outside a lot darker.

[@michaelnovello2521]

This could have been finished after the single yellow coat and it would have been perfect! You found a way to make it more perfect-er making it a burst. I’m studying your videos and planning on trying this on a kit I purchased. I have a question, though. My kit has a flame maple veneer and is shipped with a coat of sealer on it. How can I tell if I have sanded off the sealer? The dye won’t take if it is sealed and I don’t wanna sand through the veneer. Any tips? #BigFan

[@GhostyFilms]

If I wanted to use yellow, but have the yellow not be as bright... Would I add water? Rubbing alcohol? How does one thin it out?

[@thegrimreefer3185]

That is amazing looking.

[@bigdguitars]

thank you

[@mknewlan67]

I’m doing my very 1st guitar/wood project. Les Paul kit with flame veneer. Color is jade green. My question is grain filler. Use or no? Was thinking black grain filler then sanding back and going over with jade. Using same brand dye ironically. Wow a bourbon stain. That’s stunning.

[@Witsenburg]

Hi, do you use the dye straight from the bottle or do you dilute it? If so, what do you use to dilute; alcohol?

[@MrTimThunder]

Amazing job D

[@troyrankin560]

How do you reduce the depth of penetration of the Angelus dye? Is that even possible?

[@ericcrawford9827]

That's art

[@leviathan_is_me]

What's your opinion on Verathane oil based quick drying stains? Avoid?

[@East_TN_Explorer]

Can you use regular wood stain?

[@capaya8139]

how long should I wait for the dye to cure fully and not run off on my hands until going over with the sealer? and can the sealer be wipe on

[@vincent2116-c3g]

Is this sanding sealer containing cellulose?

[@vincent33195]

D- amazing job. Do you ever sand the sanding sealer before your final finish?

[@ripss1431975]

paints on what basis? acrylic or water?

[@MarcCarriage121]

I would have liked to see you do all 3 of those colors in a dragon's breath theme.

[@bigdguitars]

haha. yea I could have done a dragon here.

[@coppulor6500]

sick

[@Strumbum01]

Could a person skip the oil and stop after applying the 4-5 coats of sealer without having any bleed through issues? Thanks in advance.

[@bigdguitars]

yea you can apply sealer and leave it. it does need something a little more though in terms of a coat.

[@Strumbum01]

@@bigdguitars Beautiful looking work on this one by the way!

[@joebloggs4369]

Excellent video. Thanks for this. Now to ruin my clothes to my wife's chagrin!

This video should be compulsory viewing for anyone wanting to stain guitars. Just put an order in for a bunch of the angelus stains!

[@frostedhead]

A burst is a burst is a burst is a burst. Do a lemon burst! I think you did one already but it didn't look right?

I will do a lemon burst for you!

I feel like maybe you could move away from telecaster shapes? You have so much talent but I worry you won’t get the audience you deserve because of the focus on tele shapes

[@vat5Boeremusiek]

I am watching almost all of your video's.... can you perhaps give me an email address please...I recently bought a Harley Benton DIY CST -24 kit... and would like to ask you some questions and send some photos before I start with my project ...and before I mess things up...thanks
