How do I get an oil dye finish? (Like Warwick)

[Senator]

I'd like to have an oil dye finish on a swamp ash body, just like the Warwick Corvettes.

How do I do it?

[Marton]

Buy a warmoth body and finish it with oil ?

Thanks. There is a Woodcraft store in the area.

They carry both TransTint and TransFast dyes.
What's the difference?

I found a link on "aniline" dyes at Reranch. TransFast dyes are "aniline" dyes.

Transtint is said to be easier to work with... at least by my research for a project I'm planning (similar finish to your link but a guitar and mahogany).
