I signed up on 8 Bomb Customs Patreon page where he has a selection of videos for "makers" that goes into every detail that you need to know. I can happily watch his videos for hours on end.

Watching the video, I would have been happy to stop at the 15-minute mark. I would be too impatient to have to wait for the aniline dyes to fade, but that does look to be the correct way to do things if you want a stunning guitar at the end of the process. If I was in the market for something similar and the choices were an 8 Bomb Custom or a Murphy lab, 8 Bomb would get my money. If you do feel like checking his channel out on Youtube, have a look at his gold top refinishing process. I love how he sprays the guitar green before the gold, perfect for his relicing finishes.
