as mentioned before Keda wood dye is great for this, it comes in 5 packs with, red, yellow, blue, brown and black and from that you can pretty much make any colour you want. I order from E-bay since i live in Greece, its easy and comes in at about 15 euros. You can stain an awful lot with that
Love this company its amazing in everyway no matter what guitar you get it will be quality even the standard se version its just simply amazing there detail
If I'll earn a lot of money one day, a PRS Dragon will definitely be on my shopping list! I adore that fingerboard inlay; I doubt that I'll ever play it just to not mess it up ;)
I don't know if it's right but i recently saw someone on youtube doin it with office depot ink... American men and in France we have also office depot selling this ink.
I don't suppose you could share the type of stain and more info on the process? Stain or Dye? Cut with? Looks like you applied a yellow, then a darker amber-yellow to bring out the flames, is that right? I wouldn't have thought of doing them at the same time.. something to try assuming I understand what you're doing. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.
Do you fill before staining then?? don't you want the wood to soak up the stain properly? then fill before spraying so it doesnt take 400 layers of lacquer :) ?
daliks he might have been meaning to say sanding sealer or this might be their “PRS” terminology to sanding sealer. Basically sanding sealer fills in all the tiny imperfections from sanding that will pop out after you apply clear coat. So it’s clear and sort of makes a flat smooth surface. I use to work in the piano restoration business and we would prep, sand, stain, sanding sealer and last clear coat. But then again I’m not PRS so I could be wrong here with what guy here is talking about but otherwise grain filling after applying dye doesn’t make sense. If you ever need sanding sealer a great company is Mohawk, just google Mohawk Sanding Sealer spray.
For this one, yeah. But for others--it depends on the effect you're going for. You can grain fill and then seal, or you can seal and then grain fill. The absolute best way to decide is to practice on sample chunks of the same wood and take notes because the difference can be remarkable. One way is not necessarily better than another way. The biggest mistake newbies make is jumping right in and staining the Piece That Matters without practice/experimentation first to determine what they like. Getting a bad stain job out of a premium piece of wood is neither fun nor completely successful.
PLEASE can anyone help me!! I want to stain my guitar top but I'm from the netherlands and I don't know where I can get that stain ink. Anyone here know what it's called in dutch or where I can get it?? You would help me allot if I get an answer!! thanks.
Hope you use a better photographer now. The quality of the video obviously does not match the quality of workmanship in building and finishing PRS guitars.
