Hi
Dont know if any one can help on this one,I need to replace the butt guide from a sage z axis,I emailed sage and they told me I should use #340 gold thread.I have duly done this and the colour is nowhere near what it should be.
I have emailed sage again with this query but in the meantime was wondering if any one out there knows already what colour i should be using.

Thanks in Advance

Bryan

That color may be something Sage is having custom dyed and they are giving repair persons the next closest Gudebrod stock color, the 340. I'd agree that it isn't a very close match at all.

Take a look at the offerings from Maderia. They have so many colors and so many shades you can almost surely find something that matches fairly well.

Bryan -- Do you have the "Regular Nylon Thread". Did you apply color preserver to the thread and have you applied finish yet. The key to matching the existing color, is to use Gudebrod regualr nylon is color 340, no color preserver and then use the finish. The color will then change.
