Sooooo, I couldn't decide to stain the veneer either blue or green, so I decided to be unique and do both. Although this isn't really the traditional "dragonburst" (which is actually green and yellow/natural), it really fits the dragon inlay on the neck. After clearcoating the guitar (Part 14), the green changes and looks almost like light blue in the pictures and the blueburst turns deeper, but the green is still there and I like how it turns out. At first, I was quite skeptical about how it would turn out, but it actually resulted in something better than I expected.
Here's the video from where I learned how to make a color burst transition using water-based stains:

Good news, I'm going to college, and apparently there's a club for guitar crafting. That means it's time to build a legit guitar from scratch. F*cking epic.

Hey great videos and nice guitar. I was just curious do you put the black stain on first to bring up the quilted maple look? I was thinking of painting my guitar a canary yellow and didnt know whether to or not ?

@stingjet1
applying the black stain and then sanding it off will make the figured wood more vivid and "3d-like."

cheers for the quick response :) so do you reckon i should put the black under the canary yellow? it wont affect the brightness of the yellow will it?

Just make sure you uniformly sand the maple first before dying black. As long as you sand much of the black off, the yellow should still be bright. Try finding videos or photos of this technique to get an idea how much black should remain.
