I Tried a Finish I Have Never Attempted Before. It Worked.

I bought this guitar kit on Facebook Marketplace for $50. The plan was simple: cheap content, fast turnaround, easy build. It was cheap. That's where the plan ended. What followed was more finish work than I put into most of my scratch builds — a deep gloss tobacco burst over flamed maple on a Florentine cutaway Les Paul copy. And honestly? It might be the best-looking guitar in the shop right now. This is a full build log from kit to completed instrument — the prep, the finish process, and a playthrough at the end. 🎸 WHAT'S IN THIS BUILD: $50 Facebook Marketplace guitar kit Flamed maple top prep Tobacco burst finish — full process Hardware upgrades and setup Full playthrough 🔧 TOOLS & MATERIALS: General Finishes Transtint Walnut Dye - https://amzn.to/4eyFuSA General Finishes Transtint Amber Dye - https://amzn.to/4eQETN8 General Finishes Transtint Brown Mahogany Dye - https://amzn.to/4vTbVSA Titebond Wood Glue - https://amzn.to/4vXhH5A 📺 MORE FULL BUILDS ON THIS CHANNEL:    • Custom Guitar Builds and Projects   Skinner Guitars are handmade instruments designed and built by Daniel J Skinner in his home-based shop in Dallas, TX. #guitarbuild #luthier #diyguitar #lespaul #guitarbuilding #flamedmaple #customguitar #electricguitar #diyguitarkit #howtobuildarguitar
