- In this video I show you how I used Angelus leather dye to stain the top of a quilted maple Stratocaster style guitar body. It's much more simple that you think it would be and just requires some imagination and creativity with colors.
Huge shoutout out to Tye at Shock the Fox ( tinyurl.com/yu... ) for sending me this quilted maple top. This guitar wouldn’t be the same without it.

You are a ninja.
I just wear sneakers. That’s so much for the top, man!
Baja😂😂
The quilt on that top is amazing! I couldn’t believe how much the black enhanced the figure.
Thanks, Bruce! You can’t be sleeping on the black dye 😜
Damn !! One the best washes I have seen in hours of intrigue with others.!! Wish there was a final back and sides and gloss finish vid . Excellent Fades Brother !!!
That's one of my favourite finishes I've ever seen, it's making me think a green or blue flame would be awesome!
I received my Angelus Leather Dye starter set yesterday to use on woodturning projects. It is a great product! Much more intense pigment than General Finishes waterbased dye and it doesn't raise the grain. For a little more than $50 you can choose 12 colors to experiment with.
Wow you killed it! Looks amazing
That is gorgeous. I'm going to try to do this on my next build.
love the look of The Baskin
Free Joe!
Looks fantastic but like you said, after the pickguard goes on it's a different story. The only thing that makes sense on a strat (traditional routing where the pickguard must go on) is a Martin style burst where it closely follows the contours of the body.
Really nice dude looks amazing.
Now that is a work of art! You did a fantastic job on this! The colors really make the black pop. I also agree that doing just red with the black would look awesome too.
BTW, love the flannels! 😁
Thanks, Jon! I think a black cherry top would be a cool look and flannels for life!
I am going to try this exact method lol awesome vid!
Let me know how it goes!
Really amazing
Very nice job...I would think you would start with the lightest color and work towards the darker color...but looks awesome
That came out amazing man!
Thanks, Ethan!
Nice work.
Do you shake your dyes before use? It seems to me that rear mounted electronics and side hole for the input jack would allow for a full quilted top without the use of a pick guard….that would be beautiful..
thx!
That's gorgeous! 🔥
Thanks! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Awesome job Nick but I wish you would’ve finished it to see the final finish and see what products you used to do the job. What black lacquer, sanding, sealer, and clearcoat product did you use? I am thinking about doing a Strat myself and I really like what you did but I’m new to it and since you are a woodworker, I believe I could trust the products and the process that you would present, I still would like to know the product you would suggest if you could reply to my post. I would really appreciate it. By the way I subscribe to your channel.
Very nice video, I have a quick question, after this stain I can paint a clear Matt Spraying ? Because I like the Matt Finish
So good man! Where’s the finished product at?
What prep was done to the wood besides sanding, e.g., sealing conditioner? I’ve worked with stains but not dyes before.
This would be sick with black hardware and a dark neck like rosewood, ebony or wenge.
I just subscribed , you did an amazing job , it looks lime an inferno ! Did you lacquer this top also ? and if so what did you use ?
is there a follow up of this after topcoat? i gotta see that beauty with some gloss on it!
So nice that the stain is acrylic or alcohol?
Do you assemble the guitar before you dye it to make sure that it plays ok? Then disassemble?
Nice job. I wanting to do something similar for a snare drum. May I ask what you use for your top coat varnish? Thanks.
Question with these Angelus dyes. If you mix neutral with just a few drops of black will it just be black or will it dilute down to a thin greyish? Basically can I do that and get a faux sand back look? For a thin assed career that can't be sanded back at ALL, would that work? (Obviously a newbie)
Could aquarel paint work? Or is that to much waterbased?
Do you have a video of the final finish including the clear lacquer?
You can see it on my Instagram a while back
Can you please list the dye names?
My wife says your narrating is like Bob Ross. You are the Bob Ross of wood working. Keep up the great videos.
🤭
Did you do anything to prep the top like raising the grain with water ? Or just applying the dye and sanding?
Just sanded up to 180 and then applied the dye.
Top left horn was to sanded out of the black.
Not bad though 😉
Where did you get the quilted maple body ?
It’s a cap and I got it from a friend.
I was curious why you put the black on then sanded it off.....until you started putting on the red, lol
The red reveals the why 🤣
it quite simple... but need patience
Did you just say “swamp ash?” Lol
I sure did!
There's a skull in the middle on the bottom 💀
Thank
IT ENDED UP BY LEAVING A CRAZY UGLY PAINT... YELLOW IS ESSENTIAL AND MUST BE APPLIED FIRST. RED FOLLOWS BLACK. HOWEVER, THE BLACK APPLIED BEFORE MUST BE SANDED ALMOST COMPLETELY. STAY SHIRT PORC TO CAT

The most congenial case of "swamp ash" I've ever seen! Nice work Nick!!
Hahaha it’s not that bad of a case
What is the name of the red dye please.
Like the Bob Ross of iodine and wood. Looks awesome Nick!
That quilted grain looks spot on like a roaring flame! This is artisan at its finest!
Thanks, Casey! I appreciate it!
Leather Dye huh! never thought of that
Wow. Amazing
Where do you buy the Dye you use from?
Amazon.
What brand of sander is that?
Mirka
Better on a rear routed guitar. The entirety of the stain will pop. Great colours btw.
Beauuutiful job 😍✌️
Wow!! That's amazing man! Awesome job. 🤙🏽
That looks awesome dude. Nicely done 🤙
My dude! Thanks!
That was wicked cool! My son was thoroughly impressed with the quilting and colors to chose too. Very neat process!
Thanks! …and tell your son he has good taste 😜
It looks so incredible....it's a shame to cover any of it up...🥴which made me think that a crystal clear pickguard...may allow full view of the beautiful quilted burst you created. Just a, "what if" thought.🌱
Next time I’ll do a rear control routing
This video hits the right notes for me.
I see what you did there 🤣
That quilting is incredible. Great process video, Nick.
Thanks!!
Interesting, My figured maple body is book matched no top just I big piece of figured maple cut to specs. Thanks for the DIY
You’ve got an expensive body 🤣
Great job, this guitar looks nice! Did you practice on something else before doing this on the guitar?
Thanks! I did a similar style burst on my bass I made at the end of last year but other than that, just went for it.
I'm getting some serious Bob Ross vibes here...🤣
Ha! I’m just glad I didn’t have any happy accidents. 🤣
Was the Bob Ross style narration intentional? xD
I watched a ton of Bob Ross when I was a kid. I’m glad I didn’t have any happy mistakes though.
Great job, love some swamp ash!
Thanks! It surprisingly light!
amazin!
Thanks!
When that red went on 👌🏼 holy smokes that looked so sick
I need to do a black and red top soon now 😜
