I know this is an electric guitar inquiry... but I trust you guys
opinions more than the metal heads on other forums.

I'm having a rear routed dual humbucker tele built. It will have a
walnut body and a quilted maple top. what type and color of stains
and/or dye would you use for the walnut and the quilted maple?
(individually or together...)

feel free to suggest anything else.

I wouldn't stain or dye walnut or quilted maple. For durability and to
bring the beauty of these woods out, I would hand rub an BLO mix in then a
wipe on gloss poly.

If you want the figure of the quilted maple to be exaggerated, then
first dye with black (or a dark brown) and then lightly sand it. Then
dye with a lighter brown, oil, followed by shellac.
