Refinishing my McCarty, need help choosing a color.

[MarcWink]

How about something totally different like Bonni Pink Cherry Burst (current production S2 finish option)?

I doubt they will do something radically different like a completely different stain. Didn't I read somewhere on this forum that options are limited to stains within range of the original colour?

I do think the top is nicer than the colour shows atm.

I think it's that they can't sand out every last trace of the original stain, so the new color needs to be similar, and you're likely not able to go to a significantly lighter shade (i.e. if it was Charcoal, you won't be able to get McCarty/Amber)

Especially in the ripples that is gonna be challenge. Those dyes penetrate deep in the grain.

Something to keep in mind

Yep, that is correct. I had a Whale Blue Cu22 refinished. Had to stay in the same, or related, color palette. Couldn't go to anything with a Yellow in it since they can't get 100% of the old stain off. I ended up with Purple Hazel.

Well i made my choice and shot an email over, so let's see if it gets approved.
I'll keep my choice to myself for now. Maybe make it a 6 - 9 month waiting game, lol
Keep everyone in suspense. lol

Nice! Not sure what they quoted you for time, but here's my experience. I've had two refinished to different colors. I was quoted 16 weeks on the first one (also a pickup swap, and two mini toggles added). It was every minute of 16 weeks. On the second I was also quoted 16 weeks. It was back in 5.
