Well, I'm re-finishing a maple top (plus headstock veneer) and want to do that lovely gradiated/burst blue you see about where it looks like a tropical ocean/beach.
An example of the look: https://www.gyrockguitars.com/collection/dark-blue-ocean-burst-021/
I'm new to the whole stain/sandback thing as its not my fave way of doing maple.......but I've got to the point where the amount of initial black is the strength I want, and I have some clear onto it to lock that in.
I'm just not sure how the colour goes.....is it simply a low intensity blue in the centre area that makes it almost look like 'shallower water'?
