Finished by  Wesley Bange the pic pretty much says it all. Here is what Wesley has to add;

I prepped the body by sanding to 320 grit and then stained the top the deep
cherry color using a mixture of the water based cherry dye and black Rit
clothing dye (as suggested by you). I then did two clear coats with the
aerosol Nitro. I then used the black aerosol lacquer to do the burst and back.
Then 12 coats of lacquer and a lot of elbow grease sanding down and
polishing. This was the first guitar I have ever finished and I think all in
all it came out pretty good.
That is about it.  I guess I just want to add again thanks for all the help and
that the products form reranch are great. I am pretty sure it was 90 percent
the products and 10 percent me that allowed it to come out so well.
