Help me lose some honey
The honeyburst on my 2004 Les Paul Classic is just a smidgin too yellow in the centre.
Any way to change the hue to be a bit less yellow? I don't really want to re-fin and I like the effect at the edges, but it has such a nice plain top and you can't see it as much as I'd like. Take some off with some 0000 steel wool? Rub on something blue?  Here's what I mean (and a gratuitous full stack shot) Last edited by Clyde Billt; 04-15-2012 at 04:53 AM. Reason: insert image |

Re: Help me lose some honey
If you use sparingly T-Cut (UK) or a Simmoniz colour restorer will eventually rub off/out the colour. I did just that on a blotchy Gibson factory job on a '50s Tribute:
 Stands out from a distance too:  Take caution!
