The Warmoth body is on "blue dye" section, so not sure if it was dyed black and then blue too or just black and a trans blue finish
well maple varies in colour a lot and if you try to spray blue over anything that isnt really light it turns a bit green ish (you can almost see a tint of it in tony's 4th picture)
That warmoth one goes from very light to very dark which to me screams black dye. it may also have had a middle stage of dye blue with a slight sand back before a light blue clear. it does look awesome in photo's and still awesome in real life. but hold it next to a guitar that has been done without the black stage and the difference becomes apparent.
this guitar may get dyed and sanded back to create a depth of colour, but i would rather loose a little bit of the photogenic appeal to protect the extra special 3d effect that tony is going to get when he opens the case for the first time (and every time after), i imagine there will be a period where he is completely hypnotised by it - well i will be anyway!!
i do like that shade of blue. imagine that being the darkest it gets and its more where i am thinking it will look good
tony- the 2 weeks was based on doing some tonight. then my mum turned up and took me out for dinner. i had a nice 36 day old fillet steak and a few good pints so now its 2 weeks and 1 day!! ;)
