“Best strat kit on the market period!! This is my second kit within a few months and i must say im very impressed with Guitarkitworld. They have the best guitar kits hands down! The flamed top is pretty nice with good figuring. The ash body is nice as well with a black binding around the top. The skunk stripe neck is amazing with great fretwork with only minimal work needed. I am gonna buy another kit from these guys. If you were looking into a great strat kit look no further... this is the one.” ~ Eric F.

Doug DeLuca and his sixteen year old son turned a bare quilted maple top into a deep blue burst, and the figure still reads through the darkest part of the rim. Here is the dye versus pigment decision that made it work, why the edges are the darkest part of the guitar, and what you can copy on your own figured top.
Christoph and his son Fionn wanted a deep even black on an open-grained mahogany body with the figure still showing through, and the pores kept drying lighter than the surface. Follow the build from the bare kit to the finished bass, and see how they diagnosed it and what you can copy from their approach.
