This is an attempt at getting a sort of butterscotch effect on my lovely old Tokai tele. The body was originally a bit battered, so I stripped it using a mouse sander and smoothed out any wrinkles. From my understanding, this model was built using Alder, so the grain is not that obvious. It still shows through nicely enough though.

I used a white tint and then a yellow tint (nitro based). Found it quite tricky to get an even coverage, but all in all it looks quite nice. Maybe a bit...
