dye matching the Gibson Mastertone

The last step before applying finish, in this case the most important is to match the original color of the '63 Gibson Mastertone. I have trouble with the lousy bottles the dye comes in and it literally gets all over me. This isn't necessary when just using any old nice looking color, but I go to great lengths to match the old color. This is especially time consuming with vitreous colors that build up in layers, as you apply a coat, let it dry and repeat 3-4 times to see what you get. I'll take you through multiple days of work in about 30 minutes, and the next video we apply it to the banjo neck. Don't miss it!
