like how Gibson does there tom murphey guitars my main goal is i want to age the wood but i wanna find a faster way to do it. i know many ageing techniques do far thanks to dans book but i wanna speed up the ageing process.

AGing takes... ages. You can't go fast than industrial uv for this. This is a hazardous process, because it can set the wood on fire if not mastered. Considering you're a beginner, if I may suggest an humble advice, you should focus on more basic skills.

hang it out side out of the rain of course

Pierre: yeah i was wondering about that because i know  basic knowledge that something like that could cause a fire. but have you done it and does it produce good results.

Frank: Ok i will try that as well. would that work for finishes too frank?.

Gil Yaron, a builder of ridiculously authentic guitars from Israel  (check his website:  >A HREF="http://gilyaronguitars.com/"/<A  uses a sunlamp to get the aniline dies in his lacquers to fade to a less than factory new level.

Chase down the links to some of his builds; they are, to put it mildly, an education.
