http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAg7ZqI8WXs In this video he plays a Greenfield Baritone Guitar.. and the sides are a green color. How is this done...? You can still see the wood-grain, so it doesn't seem painted or anything. Is it dyed? |

Joe White dyed this guitar for me. He applied the dye after the epoxy pore fill then clear poly over that |

Most likely a translucent dye! |

John - There's more to that guitar's story than dye isn't there? That's cool looking. Edit Is that OSB? Mike |

Yes - OSB. Just had to try it. It sounds pretty good actually |

Actually, in the case of that Greenfield, the color was sprayed on. |
