No doubt that "Dave" is an absolute pro and probably one of the best in the business, but it also doesn't hurt that he's working with a stunning private stock maple top. Those private stock woods are insanely gorgeous. I'm glad Dave knows just how to bring out the beauty of the tops. It'd be a shame for wood like that to get anything less than an expert finishing.
FANTASTIC JOB ED! Never seen the adding dabs of color on the inside before, and then blend it in, and removing the excess before it reaches the wood, and you didn't hit it with black first, leave to dry, then sand! sometimes that works, but others not! it looked great, but when that yellow went on! WOW! AMAZING JOB!!!
I watched a few other guitar staining videos and it's insane how easy he makes this look. He's orders of magnitude faster and still does a cleaner job.
I am amazed that the bloodsuckers at disney have not dinged you with a copyright strike for the faint pirates of the caribbean music in the background.
Getting ready to dye a bass with something similar. In my dreams it looks this effortless and smooth In Reality , I will cuss and spill and the burst will look like a messy shart
Somebody should send a link to BigD (?) and most of the other guys posting videos staining guitars. I was quite impressed until he reached for the strong yellow dye thinking that would ruin it for sure, but holy Moses I was wrong!
Though there is NO way to get this beauty of a pattern without the top, I have actually found using a decent stain you can actually paint on the grain and spend the time before staining the entire top and get a pretty decent flame look without spending for the actual top, lol. Doesn't always work, but when it does, oof.
There are 3 things we need to know; 1). What colors are being used? 2). What is the brand/type of dye used, dilution/strength, alcohol based, etc? 3). Is the wood is treated with something prior to being dyed?
I can answer some of your questions based on some research on PRS's RUclips channel. 1. This question I can't answer 2. I don't know the type, brand, or dilution, but the first coat of stain is usually alcohol based, then followed with water based, and then oil based. 3. They use water
There are two finishes in the world that take my breath away almost every time, McCarty Glow and Ibanez' "Vintage Violin", which coincidentally is basically almost the same as McCarty glow, though was done in the 90s and early 2000s (so maybe earlier than PRS). Either way, this finish is incredible, having a custom guitar made and I wanted THIS color, sent him the video. Epic thanks! Dave is a true artist; can't believe how quickly he did that and how perfect it came out.
Very nice work. I'm guessing that doing the burst with stain rather than spraying the colors on reduces the amount of build in finish coats that end up staying on the guitar after sanding & buffing out. Is that the reason for doing it this way?
Whoever owns that Private Stock Custom #7382 has now acquired extra provenance, in regard to having an accompanying video, shot on location in the PRS core factory, with the very expert that crafted that wondrous tiger-flame sunburst and starring his own instrument!
can anyone maybe tell me with typ of dye/stain he´s using here? or maybe point me in the right direction when it comes too good brands. I live in europe btw so some american brands can be hard to come by... Would be grateful for any input!=)
All I can say is OMG!!!! That with a couple of layers of clear coating and that guitar will be ready to play. I bet this guitar cost around $3-$4,000.00?
Amazing work and he moves so fast! Still so meticulous though, and there were lots of little moments where you could see his attention to the little details really shining through. Makes me wonder how long and how many guitars it took for him to get to that level. I know PRS has a rep for long tenures for its production team, so I wouldn't be too surprised if this guy started there as a snot-nosed kid in the 80s and has been working his way up to this level ever since.
yeah... that is freakin insane!! Not sure what's insaner: the dude's skills or the size of the flame on that top. unbelievable, would love to see it finished
Very impressive.....I worked for Ovation for over 30 years ,and with the exception of a few different times ,all the stains I applied were by a spray gun......very nice job ,great talent !!!!
You know you're a professional when you can work at the top tier of your company, and produce work like this that fast.

I've shot sunbursts, I've made decent efforts at staining veneers. This man is an artist, there is no doubt. A very fast artist.
Words are inadequate at times...this is one of those times...
Anyone that's actually dyed a guitar knows how impressive this actually is. Makes it look like he is just signing his name. Props
As I'm watching this I'm just like "ok yeah, $10k makes sense after all". Incredible to see him do this so effortlessly.
Don't ride him too hard..
@@Marco-717 what does that mean?
That is great work. I’ve struggled to make a single colour stain look good-this is amazeballs!
Da Vinci has nothing on this guy, a true master of his craft
20+ years of learning to complete this master-piece in 5 minutes. Beautiful job.
Literally anyone could do this...
@@mymodel6 Then do it
@@mymodel6 Clown level 10.
@@BurnleyNuts If you think strategically wiping some stain on some wood is difficult you must be fucking useless at everything lol...
Not sure if I’m more impressed by his amazing work or the fact that his gloves are still mostly clean at the end.
Looks like he's done that before.

Does anyone else hear Pirates of the Caribbean music at 2:05?
all the time
Pirates Stock \m/
Spectacular job Sir - great to watch a true artist at work!
I watched a few other guitar staining videos and it's insane how easy he makes this look. He's orders of magnitude faster and still does a cleaner job.
I'm going to watch this dozens of times, and then practice on scrap tops. Perfect tutorial.
master at his craft!
Great teaching moment, really different from the most wannabe youtubers. Thanks.
Must be his first day on the job. LMAO 🤣
Beautiful work man.
Thats got to be one of the best jobs there
Seeing that top come to life like that
I am amazed that the bloodsuckers at disney have not dinged you with a copyright strike for the faint pirates of the caribbean music in the background.
You can actually see how this guitar turned out when you search "PRS Private Stock 7382" on RUclips!
and just like that, a new brain cell was formed!
Stunning!

Yeah, he just smoked those guys in terms of quality and efficiency.
When that last year stain goes on, that entire top just explodes with color. Really amazing!
Respect!🇺🇸

One day.... It will be my number!
That moment when you think “NO! That yellow is too yellow!” Then he finishes it, and it’s like “awwwww, yeah…”
Exactly what I thought. :)

Impressive 🥲

He dyes the guitar making it appear so simple. He is a true artist!
Just casually listening to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack at the PRS factory. lol

awesome technique, just by making the teardrop formation rather than sanding it and diluting the yellow
That was true American craftsmanship at work; he totally brought the maple to life, crazy flames!
can anyone maybe tell me with typ of dye/stain he´s using here? or maybe point me in the right direction when it comes too good brands.
I live in europe btw so some american brands can be hard to come by... Would be grateful for any input!=)
I've tried Angelus dyes, I didnt like the blend. Plus if you're not careful the will be reactivated by and sealer coats .
So nice watching it all come together in the end. It's like watching Leonardo doing a finish on statue Michelangelo made for Pope.
Nice. Just a hint too much brown for me.if I was or coujd afford one ..I like the more amber colors better. But still a beautiful guitar .
What kind of wood is this?? Beautiful stripey woodgrain
You did a great job! Do You have idea how make Prs "sour grapes" finish ??
This would have been so much more helpful ir he had said what he was using.....
La canción de Piratas del Caribe de fondo jajajaja
I think the key to whole thing is that initial dab job around the perimeter. Cool stuff.
All I can say is OMG!!!! That with a couple of layers of clear coating and that guitar will be ready to play. I bet this guitar cost around $3-$4,000.00?
Try 12.000 to 20.000 its a private stock...
@@d2astudios105 OMG. I guess it's only affordable for rich people.
Maybe $6-8k. Nothing extraordinary about it unless it’s a Brazilian neck or something
"that looks easy.." well, it ain't.
Quality work that.
Nice an' smooth!! Great upload, thx!
One of the many reasons these guitars are so individual!
I can’t believe how amazing that looks and the fact he did it in 5 minutes!!! Damn!
Private stock rhymes with expensive top
man gettin hyped worh the pirates of the Caribbean theme
This is nice but who watching pirates of the Caribbean
That's how you add $5000 to the price tag of a guitar in 5 minutes

He's done that before, I could tell by the speed at which he worked.
yeah... that is freakin insane!! Not sure what's insaner: the dude's skills or the size of the flame on that top. unbelievable, would love to see it finished
It looks a bad work to me, asymmetrical, me don’t like it.
Honestly I liked it better before he put on the yellow stain.
Has PRS worked with pine bodies
3:04 - I'm just in love with this colour....
Whats that burst called? Thanks
I Love PRS guitars, but i hate when they are not bookmatched.
there's going to be one very lucky owner
A M A Z I N G !
That was amaising !
Thx for sharing, Shawn!
It looked to good until the yellow came out 😞
Very impressive.....I worked for Ovation for over 30 years ,and with the exception of a few different times ,all the stains I applied were by a spray gun......very nice job ,great talent !!!!
Hola, amigo, la tinta que usabas esos años es de base alcohol o agua? O usabas una pintura sobre el fondo? Saludos!
That color without yellow was much better.
Yeah I saw the finished guitar and wasnt a fan
thought so too
I agree
Exactly what I thought as well.
What a fantastic flame top
Neeto!
Skeet skeet skeet.
Wow, just wow..
Can't get tired of watching... work of art
A master at work. An absolute pleasure to watch.
Dye type and tape type?
Do different types of stain help bring out the grain patterns on the quilt maple? Thank you 🤓 are traditional oil-based stains not used as much?
That looked great
Looks amazing!
That top glows like someone hid the sun inside the body.
... amazing !!! ...
This is so rad to watch
Dude has a touch!!! When, and if I can ever afford one of these. I want the dude with the Red Sox hat…. Hell yeah!
Staining videos in YT look not much different, but this Dave made it an art!! Probably the best I've seen!! Thanks!!
Now thats Tiger strips :)
Not the color I'd choose for my PS but man it came out awesome, and that figuring... Beautiful guitar!
Outstanding
just wow!!!!
Beautiful.
Art!!!
Great !!!!
Could watch this all day
Nice!!!
Someone in the back’s watching Pirates of the Caribbean🤘

Fantastic Work, watched it many times, such great skill
