Thanks! The guitar is actually more blue than it looks in the picture. I was going for a faded denim kind of look. I stained the entire top black, then sanded it back until the black just remained in just the low spots of the quilt, then stained a darker blue, sanded that back, and then stained a lighter blue, and lightly sanded that so there's a lot of depth between those 3 colors, plus the highest spots of the quilt are slightly naturalbwood. I always wondered how PRS guitars had so much depth to their quilt tops, and then I had the opportunity to take a tour of the PRS factory about 10 years ago, and in the finish section, I saw folks hand staining every quilt top black first, and then sanding it back before applying the final color, so I did the same!
