Adam91081 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi, I’ve reshaped a les Paul traditional neck, it’s a success, structurally stable for the past four months or so, no difference to the sound and now I’m happy I would like to stain to match it in with the rest of the guitar. It’s stained brown, 2013 Model, any tips on where I can get the stain over in the UK? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Is it a “dark back” or just the light brown natural color? At any rate you’re probably going to achieve the look with pore filler and possibly a slightly tinted lacquer rather than stain. I doubt it’s even a tinted lacquer really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam91081 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi, it’s quite dark brown, I would say the natural wood is amber but the stain or whatever they use is defo brown. I’ve put a couple light coats of tru oil on it which kept it kind of sealed over the past few months, didn’t want to invest time in finishing it properly in case the neck decided to twist due to what I did to it, but it seems to have survived, so I want to refinish the neck properly, or half descent anyhow.
