"Tiger-stripe" LP : Part 1

This is the red LP I used to make the Guitar Kit Assembly Guide. I never really liked the color as I really blasted the kit together using stuff from the local home-store. Water-based finishes & such. I was diss-assembling it and trying to polish it up when I decided I really hated the color so what was the point. So I did what any rationally thinking man would do...take a power sander to it!
I always wanted to see if you could put a tiger stripe finish on laminant. So far so good. I'll post slide shows untill it's finished. Thanks for watching! J-

what brand is a guitar kit?

[jwhambone79]

You can find them on ebay, guitar fetish, byo guitar. This was a no brand name kit from ebay.

[KEVQUATRO1]

did you apply it going across the guitar(same direction tiger stripe is going) or going up(guitar body side ways Not applying in the direction of tiger stripes)

[jwhambone79]

@KEVQUATRO1 I just rubbed it in any old way.

[KEVQUATRO1]

can any brand of die be used ,because i have concentrated liquid stain,and the brand to it is stewart-macdonald color tone professional finishes?

[jwhambone79]

@KEVQUATRO1 I'm pretty sure that is the same as the stuff I used. It can be cut with water or denatured alcohol.

Do you wet sand the top

@TheShorty0ne Provided that you put care into how you set the guitar up, what parts you select and how you go through the process of building the instrument, it will sound better than any over priced Gibson or PRS. I've played plenty of guitars, and the ones from kits or are built from scratch, usually play and sound better, a tleast to me.

@jwhambone79 it's worthy, i mean...i've got a squier jagmaster right now, and i'm looking for something better, i assume that a guitar kit like this won't be as good as a real gibson, but could be better than my low-mid class guitar? or i could spend a few days with it just to have another "not great" guitar?...

i'm having some troubles trying to express myself in english, just want to know about the real quality from his owner and user.

Thanks you so much :)

David.
