  • Brent - sorry for the late response!  This is definitely a super easy way to create this effect.  Pretty striking, and so easy!

  • I tried for something similar with multiple wood pieces. It was a disaster and ended up in the scrap pile. I'll have to give it a try with stain at some point. Thanks for giving the trade secret.
  • Thanks much, Brent.  I started this striped stain approach on a couple of canjos, and liked it so much I decided to do my next CBG (this one).  I do have to give a tip-of-the-hat to Dave Lynas for inspiration; but I really like how neat it looks and how stinking easy it is to do!  I may not do it on ALL future builds, but...... you never know!

  • Cool looking build Rev. Love that fret board.

  • Dave, thanks to you for starting me down the striped fretboard path! Cheers!

  • Very nice Rev. I love the stripes.
