 RE: Ethan D's stunning lemon yellow ... (in reply to JasonM)

Thanx guys,
You know Jason I am feeling kinda stupid now cause I only ordered up a couple yellowish shellac and the button Ethen recommended as well as a yellow analine dye, what I neglected to mention was I never bothered to shellac my number two build as well and thought just for fun I could have got some bright orange dye and went all Condi on her wood ;)
I did a bunch of crazy stuff with her sound bars and bracing and she never forgave me for that or she was pissed cause I let our minions take her down to the river, bonfire parties, and dog knows where else. Got a kick bumping into someone who said, hay man what’s his name had your guitar at our party and we passed it around and had some fun with her. Happened a few times. Part of me thinks I should give her a new set of strings, spend a week or two rubbing shellac into her, and see what she sounds like.
Really kinda shocking how much of a change just doing the back of my number one made, less woody on the bottom end and brightened up the midrange a lot and the top just a little. Most likely I’m just more attuned to subtle sonic changes most wouldn’t?
Added one more learning curve circle jerk the other night. Knew when I put that naphtha into the vary same size and shape bottle I kept m alcohol in could cause a problem; yep took three weeks but going out to the shop for a third session of the day and buggered up a top nicely, it was the smell I noticed first, it all smelled odd, also there was no drag at all with the manuca as I padded around in small circles, and that odd smell, about the third or forth time I charged the pad i saw all the big black N’s I had drawn around the bottle. Knew better then to use black sharply...
I’m actually shellacking all five in the photo below, my arms are kinda sore and my hands said this morning, no playing for 48 hours or else.
Patiently waiting for my order from shellac.net...

can be raw or well done,
as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.

or at least making any unevenness in color look "old worldy" instead of just "blotchy"
