Below you'll see some examples of some different types of Dyes, Bursts & Grain-Enhancement finishes we have done on guitars & basses. If you don't see the type of finish your looking for below please contact us, chances are we can do it!

What is the difference in these finishes?

A Dye is simply one color rubbed into the wood, many times an unfigured wood.

A Grain-Enhancement is generally done on an instrument with a figured top. By 1st dying the top with a darker color, and then coming back with multiple stages of sanding & dying the top with a lighter color the grain & figure in the wood can be enhanced greatly.
