Hey Renk. The alcohol based thing came down to availability unfortunately. I even had to order that after searching around locally. Maybe I should try harder. I follow your builds closely and remember the finish being great.
The rear of the body is the worst part. First the mahogany itself isn't very nice, multi piece that isn't too asthetically pleasing. I drilled through the back when drilling between pup cavities (ha) and there was a few spots I had to grain fill which really pop out under stain.
Overall I just wasn't happy with it. I'll salvage the neck as I quite like it. I'll have to get my hands on some water based powdered dye in the mean time.
