Leave it in direct sunlight. All day. Every day.
Which may very well get the guitar stolen, but that's beside the point.please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinkingComment

Hey, did you ever see Jerry Cantrell's "leopardskin" white LP Custom? He did the "finish" himself by stubbing out cigarettes on his guitar! [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] It looked kinda cool, actually.please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinkingComment

Re: Yellowing a new White Finish
Actually, if you really want to go to the trouble, you can mix just a hint of brown base in some clear and shoot over the original finish (proper prep of course). It will take on a nice aged yellow look. I'm not talking a lot of base either, just a few drops in a quart of clear will do it. Too much and your screwed!My goal in life is to be the kind of asshole my wife thinks I am.Comment

Yeah, it's as simple as that [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I think it was Derek Frigo? that hung a white guitar in a storage shed and lit like 50 cigarettes and let them burn with the door closed and did it for a few weeks straight. When it came out, it was a vintage faded white, though I'm sure it smelled like nicotine and was sticky all over [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Direct Sunlight will also make the board dry out, as well as the finish itself.
Try a heatgun on a high enough setting for a long enough time and it should do it, but you'll either have to exceed the gun's on-time or burn it up entirely.
How about brushing/spraying on some thinner and letting it sit there?I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

At the correct distance, yes, that'd work, just don't get in a hurry.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Ultraviolet lights, like those found in a tanning salon. Sunlight as well.
Either way, don't let the guitar get too much heat. It will warp the neck.
A perfect place would be on a sunny winter day - snow on the ground helping to concentrate the light on the guitar.Comment
