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

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

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

First thing that I noticed is how EASY he made his playing look!

The neck is from a stair tread called Timberstrand. It is like OSB but uses long fibers rather than flakes for increased strength
