Please help me decide !!

Post by 1031 »

Ok I got some pretty decent Limba 'AKA' Korina . enough to do a les paul jr style guitar as a one piece neck and one piece body..
So do I leave it its natural color or do a stain.. I wont paint it I want the wood to show and have as little tone dampening as possible.

So natural .. Or stain and what color if stain. I am pretty good at color mixing so .. lets hear it.
Guitars good, drugs booze.. bad

See if you can cook it to darken the timber like Charvel are doing with the new Guthire Govan model!
