It’s pretty popular now, I think it needs to be on a wood like Ash, right? Grain filler of one color, then a sanded top coat? Is this doable by an amateur?

How do you create this finish?

I think Masta' C recently did a finish like this. You could try a forum search on topics he started, but you'd have to guess the keywords. Or if he doesn't see your topic in a few days, PM him.I miss the 80's (girls) !!!

Here is the topic I was remembering. And it doesn't have as much contrast.

Sandblasting leaves the wood dirty. A stiff brush with brass bristles will remove the softer grain (the dark streaks). Then stain is applied, sanded off the high (hard) partions, then painted a contrasting color. Colllings calls this a "doghair" finish.
Ibanez did something similar back in the late 70's/early 80's on some models made of ash.
Like so....

I think that finish is going to look 'very 2020's like neon looks 'very 80s' now. It isn't a bad finish, but I don't think it will stick around a lot.Administrator of the SDUGF
