- In this video I describe how a I stain a maple top, how I make faux/natural binding, how to seal the stain in, how I mix and spray clearcoat for my hvlp system, how I apply grain filler and how I level lacquer.

Sorry about the worlds most deadpan voiceover, bit under the weather.
Ash this has to be one of the finest top finish combo's I've ever seen...attention to detail is amazing.
Thanks bud
WOW you killed that!! Amazing stain and finish!!
A truly high-end guitar! can't wait to see the final product!
Thanks Lawrence, I hope it meats expectations, still plenty of opportunity for it to go horribly wrong yet!
Oh yes...loving that colour 👍
This is STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!! I'm definitely going back and watching the first 4 videos now! So impressive!!!
Thanks JLP, just checked out your V build, awesome
@@ADFinlayson thanks man
Love the color! Nice work.
OMFG!!! That finish ... .DROOOOOL... That is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks Robert
Really pretty man. Thanks for sharing!
That finish is stunning. Looking forward to seeing it all put together. Also, a thumbs up to Robinsons Trooper!
Everyone needs a pint of Trooper 😎🍻
Very nice attention to the details
This is a great guitar in the making! Absolutely crazy top, and gorgeous wood throughout...
Thanks Chas, it’s turned out nice despite the rushing
@@ADFinlayson Hey, I would proudly play that instrument! A well deserved KUDOS to you!
Incredible work!
Thanks
That tops beautiful. I'm missing a bunch of these guitars this year somehow. This is the first video I saw of this build. Nice man
Thanks Richie
Beautiful
Thank you! Excellent series! It put me over the edge. Picking up my timber tomorrow for my first build.
Kind regards
Excellent, good luck with the build!
Awesome top!
Timber mate filler has been the best I've found for filling deep grain. No shrinkage, dries quick. Does a great job! Finish colors are looking great btw! Glad to see you're spraying a proper laquer finish with a proper gun. Makes a big dif
Thanks bud, does timber mate come as a clear filler? I was really only trying out Aqua Coat to save time not having to tape off the faux binding. I should have done a tester first but I've been rushing to get this thing finished.
@@ADFinlayson they have all sorts of various colors. I'm sure they have a neutral/clear color. Give them a try. Ived used many dif kinds of grain filler and Timbermate has been the only one I found to actually work without shrinkage. And it's pretty easy to use as well. And you can save the excess used and reconstitute it later. So 1 can goes a long way.
you build BEAUTIFUL instruments...
Thank you mate, appreciate the kind words
Deffo the prettiest one yet.
wow, fabulous job on the stain and finishing. I'd take this over a PRS Semi-Hollow Custom any day - Great, great work!
wow thanks man
Cringe
Great Work!
Thanks John
"Oil the shaft" 🤣🤣 nice build!
Stunning finish, despite the blemishes, I love it! I have some leather dye here, I might combine for a similar finish.
I’m doing a Crimson stunning staines finish: Crimson red-Phtalo blue. The result is slightly more pinkish-lighblue, than I hoped for & the guitar top had loads of glue outs, which I couldn’t solve. So, I decided to do a rattlecan blue burst, but when I used rattle can clear coat it all started to bubble & crack. Obviously I sprayed the lacquer on too soon; but the result is quite cool! I’m keeping it that way.
Great job, very impressive work
Thanks Bri
Awesome work!
Thanks mate, please vote for it: greatguitarbuildoff.com/products/ash-finlayson
@@ADFinlayson I did
This build series made me realize I need to build two super strats.. One with that pink and one like the final color..
I would have had a hard time not stopping at that pink.
Love it
Brown Starbond trick for filling at the neck join is great. I'll be using that. Guitar looks fantastic.
Thank you, I’m here all week
Color is amazing! Ahhh the ol don’t be in a hurry, yeah bites me every time! Hence the redo of my fretboard. 😆
Looks absolutely stunning! What I would give to have a Guitar like THAT!!!!! Someday maybe... Cant wait to see and hear it when it is all done.
Thanks Nathan, final video and demo coming soon
Of course, you could commission one, and then you would have a guitar like that :P
@@ADFinlayson oh I wish, trust me. I wish. I just ordered a few months ago a brand new PRS CE24 Semi Hollow, so I think the wife would kill me if I tried getting another guitar in that price range right now 😂.
Maybe in a year or so 🤷🏻♂️
probably cheaper than a CE 😆
Soilwork is sick! guitar unreal aswell, 10/10
Thanks bud, yeah great band, one of my favourites for a long time. I've bookmarked your vids and will check out your build later
My greetings! My opinion - you have got one of interesting colour blending. You rose base is amazing! When I saw your idea , I decided to go that way in colour decision. I just want to experiment also with lemon(!) yellow (if i find this stain) as a base (just small areas), and blue colour move by gradient to purple colour. Certainly, rose base is the main base.
The Aqua clear definitely works better over a few sealer coats,, but it requires patience to build it up on anything very open grained. I haven't used it for a while now and have tended to use Thixotropic Grain Filler from Rothko and Frost, which is great to use and produces perfect results. Very nice build; well done.
I'll check out Thixotropic, cheers Angus
Awesome, Love the front finish and Great contrast with the Back ,really nice work. Is your spray set up a Turbo HVLP?
Yes that's a Earlex 3 stage turbine. Though if you see some of my more recent videos I've sold that and gone to the conventional compressor setup with a iWata LPH-80 and I'm gutting way better results with fewer coats.
Beautiful finish work mate. Interesting to see you grain filled after a finish coat. My mahogony also has some grainy spots that could have been filled or better sanded before getting oiled. I may go back in a few months and see what I can do as well. For now Im just wanting to play it after all that work hehe. Im sure you are the same.
Thanks man, yes no reason not to add some filler after a coat or 2 of lacquer, the likes of prs spray sealer then grainfill to prevent it getting on the maple binding, sealer is just high build lacquer (the stuff I use is anyway) only thing I might not have mentioned was that I did scuff the surface up with the mirka pad prior to wiping in that extra filler.
I'm not totally happy with this either, I did miss a spot with filler around that edge by the control cover, I also haven't got the top level sanded as well as I want to so I'm going to have to add a few more coats after (but I'll play it first). I sprayed 13 coats but I'd thinned the lacquer a lot so I need more on there. Pitfalls of spending 2 weeks on a finish I'd normally stew over for 2 months.
@@ADFinlayson right. Ben is soo spot on with that end of build just wanting to play thing vs taking time to perfect the last bits. I am glad I took time to set it up between initial oil coats and where mine is at now as there were a few tweaks I had to do that would have been problematic on a totally finished build.
So awesome. What bit did you use to countersink the knobs on the top ? Thanks
If watch the 1st episode you will see
amazing! I wish you showed the application of your green! so it was a Angelus Light Blue neutral-ed down with a dash of yellow? Reminds me of the Northern Lights of course...very nice I find it more like a "galaxy"
Yeah, I wish I remembered to switch the camera on
I think Northern lights would probably need more of a pink sand back and a lighter blue, I'll try it some day.
Bloody gorgeous... Is it wrong that I kinda wanted you to stop after the pink?
Thanks mate, totally not wrong - If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to spray my first burst for this competition, with the added complication of the f-hole, I probably would have kept it pink with a black outline burst.
Dont you used grain filler?
For this contest, do the submitted guitars have to be a certain design? The color combo stain looks fantastic!
Thank you mate. No there were no rules on designs, but this entry was for 2021, not sure what the rules were this time
@@ADFinlayson I don't make guitars (nor have I tried!) but am toying with ideas of making one. I might try a lap steel guitar as it seems less complicated. Thank you 🤓
@@j.lietka9406 No worries, thanks for watching. A
Looks like something PRS custom shop wishes they could do.
I’m sure they could
Try a burl top next time, seen some stunning builds with burl.
Thanks for the tip.
Can you recommend a dye or stain that could work on a maple fret board?
Any dye that you can dye a maple top with will work on a maple fretboard, it will rub off though unless you use a hard finish, lacquer, poly etc
I think if you pour molten glass into a solid pattern of nitrocellulose, it'll fume colors into the glass as it burns away, so you could get a tie-dyed glass look this way, and the carbon gives it structure, like an opal...
I think you could make gun stocks out of this Glass-Injected Nitrocellulose-Based Carbon-Fiber, and it would be better stronger and more heat resistant than polymer... and also look cool.
I think a lattice-like frame of nitrocellulose carbon fibers, acting like a skeleton for the glass, it all will melt together, but it reinforces the glass like re-bar concrete, so thay it stays in one piece, and just glass dust gets knocked off, if you whack it on a rock or some concrete.
Probably cheaper than wood, with an initial expensive investment.... it pays for itself
What?
What would you charge for a left hand model?

What's the pink dye you used? That's just what I'm after.
Angelus rose
@@ADFinlayson Actually looks more like their "light rose" than "rose", but maybe that's the light, just sanding, or the whiteness of the wood shining through. Hard to tell as different pics on the internet make it more or less pink or red.
@@Piplodocus It's not light rose.
@@ADFinlayson thanks for the confirmation. 😊👍
Where is this kit from?? Tia
Why don't you watch the rest of the series 🤷♂
what type of lacquer you use hire please thanks
precat cellulose lacquer
@@ADFinlayson thank you
SUPER NICE GUITAR........👍✌✌✌🔝🔝🔝KEEP ME A ONE!?😅😆😅😅😅😅😅🔝🔝🔝✌..FOR A LONG TIME, I NOTED THE SPECIFICITIES OF AMERICAN VARNISH WITCH CALL NITROCELLULOSE!?????IT MAKE THE VALUE OF WOODS VERY NICE 👏👏↔
When you sanded back the pink you should have stopped. The quilt popped better with the pink. The other colors made the quilt very muddy..
it's pretty much turned pink over the last couple of years anyway
