I've used the Crimson stain and it is excellent and you get shitloads....
Dunno if this YouTube vid is of interest, it drags on a bit as it shows the complete process without his usual editing.......
The good thing is also that, because the wood itself significantly affects the final colour of all stains, the choice of shades of similar colours allows experimentation to get the best end result.

30ml, by the way, looks a titchy bottle when it arrives but will do a complete guitar! I'm a fan of Crimson, but I'm not sure where they are coming from selling such large quantities...
doesnt really matter if the colours and quantities are good.

On the other hand, we did an experiment in another forum with highly intensified exposure and there seemed to be an issue with one or two of the colours...but it was extreme and not matched with a 'control' samples, so to be honest it was a bit inconclusive. Haven't been able to get any specific data from Diamine...but then again I haven't seen any data or evidence offered from any of the specialist guitar suppliers either... Well, I suppose other than the hundreds of brown Gibsons that used to be red....
I would be surprised if any of the calligraphy inks have an issue...after all, they are designed to be legible for 1000 or so years....think Lindisfarne Gospels
i generally apply neat, sometimes multi coats, sometimes just one. Also I do multi colour blends and bursts.
That's probably right, @WezV.
I do like Chestnut Spirit Stains for their good absorption properties and for their wood colours. What I like about the inks, though, is the vast range of colour shades for each of the basic colour choices. When the wood affects the final colour so much, that breadth of choice is useful for getting exactly the look you want.
