Bought the turquoise, whole wheat, black, and blue (azure)….all worked very well…i donr think id use any other stain brand…and for east coast canadians, if you go to kents building supplies they sell it too,but they have a free color chart that shows many mixing combinations using this saman stains

Seems like a very good product. Easy to apply and doesn’t seem to raise the grain. It dries quickly so it’s important to keep the applicator (cloth, sponge) moving and for an even coat try to avoid going back over just stained areas.

Nice colours. Tried the cherry, black, turquoise and am really happy with how nicely it applies, but also the richness of the colours.

Great Quality stains, I use cherry and antique walnut the most….you can water down these stains to increase transparency and lighten the shade, I do this often. I have best success using old cut up t-shirts vs. sponges….I apply the stain liberally and wipe off the excess, repeat until desired shade/tone is achieved.

Fantastic stain. This stuff does the trick in 1 coat, it also mixes well with other colors to help create a more custom look. Very impressed with the stains I purchased. Also, very impressed with the customer service from Matt. Thanks Solo.

Great stain! I purchased the black and cherry colours, and found that they look great on maple. Being water-based, it can also be thinned out with water to build up to a depth that I was looking for. The stain has incredible coverage, and even doing lots of tests on scrap wood plus the final project, I had lots of stain left over. (Sounds like another project is in order!)

I bought the sesame and the cherry with the aim of creating a cherry sunburst. I applied the sesame to the entire guitar body and to the neck and let it dry for a day or more. After attempting my sunburst I was dissatisfied with the result so I opted for just solid cherry. I did get a very nice color, but because my guitar body is alder and I hadn’t used any pre-stain product I found that there was an uneven buildup of stain in certain areas. I also noticed that after several days of drying that the stain would come off onto my hands or latex gloves if there was even the slightest bit or perspiration. Also I saw the same result with I applied the first coat (I still have several more planned) of water-based polyurethane. There was a slight pinkish hue when I reloaded my applicator as I coated the body. I restirred the polyurethane and applied an initial coat to the neck. There was none of the sesame stain color transferred. As a side note I did a light sanding of the areas where the stain had build up with a 600 grit Shinex pad and I was able to achieve a slightly reliced look as some of the sesame began to show through.

Went with forest green and emerald. Really popped.

I bought the navy blue and the color is very strong. I wanted to have a see trough color but I ended up with a solid color. Maybe I put to much stain or I should have thinned the stain with water. After the first coat the color was uneven and I went for another coat and that’s when I ended up with a solid color. It was my first experience as staining a guitar and I think I had to much stain, you have to use a little and spread it all over the body if you want a see through look. But really good stain.

I was looking for the Emerald green which is not available in my local hardware stores… but found that Solo
had it in stock, great. I only use Saman stains and varnish. For the back and sides of the guitar I used it as is and
for the Ash Burl Top I thinned it with 30% water to make it more transparent. It worked great and looks fantastic.
I love Saman’s products, fast dry, no smell, very forgiving and do not raise the wood grain. I still buff the surface with the grey
Scotch Brite pads before appying the varnishé

I bought Cherry, Azure, and White Wash for my Telecaster that I put a Confederate flag on, it worked really well and my only issue was the grain rose a little at some spots but it worked beautifully other than that!

Saman Medium Brown Woodstain
This stuff works really well. Thanks to Dave Marocco for helping me pick out the colour that best matched a roasted neck I picked out in store to imitate for my project. I scallop all my guitar necks, but for this project in particular I have not come across a roasted maple neck prepped for a floyd rose nut. After lots of sanding especially on the scalloped frets, the stain had spread pretty evenly through the neck. Thanks again to Dave for your help with this and many other products.

Produces a great finish

This is the second time I bought Saman stains. The result using these stains can vary from light to very dark depending on how you apply them. I found that they tend to dry very quickly and decided to buy the Saman extender. With a mix of 30% extender, I found it much easier to work with and get the shade I wanted. If you have areas that are darker than you want, wait until it’s completely dry and use a very fine sandpaper to lighten the colour.
I used the turquoise stain on a guitar with a figured maple top and obtained a jewel like finish. Will continue to buy this brand. Another bonus is that it’s made in Canada.

This stain just works well with no muss, fuss, or odor. Solo Guitars has the advantage here in that they seem to carry ALL of the colours, whereas our local hardware stores do not. I’m using the stain on other woodworking projects at this point, but will get around to a guitar eventually. 😉

I purchased two stains, dark (chocolate) and light (golden wheat) to create a two tone sunburst finish on a Beatle bass kit. Solo sells this kit but I got mine somewhere else. I’m an amateur at staining wood. I have done a natural finish on swamp ash but the Beatle bass kit is a very cheap veneer – not ideal for any sort of stain. The Satan is water-based, so very forgiving when you work with it. It cleans up easy and there’s no odour at all. Always use water based products together. Oil based stuff is not compatible. Same thing for top coats.
I’d buy Satan again. No complaints at all with their product.

Been using the cherry for a few years now on touch ups and several new projects. Stain goes on even and looks great with minimal applications. Notes to some of the above comments – remember to SEAL the coat in before applying top coat – then it wont come off in your hand.
Really good product and price!
