Northwest Guitars Water-Based Wood Stain - 250ml

After months of research and testing, we're really excited to introduce our new range of guitar specific water-based wood stains. 

Designed to work best on light coloured woods, these stains will produce a deep vibrant finish, with easy application and relativley quick drying times.

Our stains can be used straight out of the tin, with the mnimum of prep (just sand the unfinished body smooth) and applied with a lint free cloth or sponge appliator. Drying time is around 3 hours. 2 coats tends to be enough for a deep rich finish, but addtional coats can be applied if you're looking for a deeper colour. 

Conversely, if you're looking for a lighter finish, our stains can be easily diluted with water.

All of our coloured stains can also be mixed together to achieve custom shades. 

One 250ml bottle will give you plenty to play with, with enough product to easily complete 2 or 3 guitars.  

Apply with a lint-free cloth or sponge applicator.  Rub away any excess ot achieve even coverage.  Allow to dry and then apply further coats until you reach your desired shade.

Please note: Colour may vary slightly depending on number of coats applied, wood type and preparation method

Water-based products have a limited lifespan, even when sealed. However, proper storage and handling can help prolong their usability (see Storage Tips below).

If stored correctly, unopened water-based products can last 3-5 years. Over time, products will show more signs of separation or stratification, particularly after three years compared to those that are 6 months to a year old. Always stir thoroughly before use.

If your product develops a foul odor, it is likely contaminated and no longer suitable for use.

Great products easy to use

Stripped my old strat and refinished it in nitro black. First time I've ever done it and the tutorials and products were amazing! Made up!!! Couldn't recommend enough.

Dark Brown Stain

Bought it for refurbishing a 90 year old Coletti G40 parlour guitar, which has been totally stripped back to bare wood as it was in a terrible state of repair. I stained a piece of test wood with several coats, starting with onw then 2 etc, to find out which would be the best match to the original dark brown of the guitar. 2 coats seems to be the favourite, and more than 3 coats and you cant really see a difference. Going to try it through my airbrush on some test panel first, to create a sunburst effect. Being water based it should spray nicely. Paul T Southampton
