Woke up early (for a Saturday) and got stuck in. About 90% there now.
A little refining and a ton of sanding to go. The end grain around the inner horns and 'hips' was a bit more trouble than I was expecting, a few small tear outs to deal with. But, happy with how it's turned out.

Weekend of dusty sanding fun. Body and neck grain filled, detail sanded up to 240. It's only now I have realised I haven't given colour any sort of real consideration. What to do?
I kinda just assumed I would go with classic heritage cherry
but, I have 3 red (or close to red) guitars now and I don't really want another one.
Other options are
Green
TV yellow
Blue.
I am digging the green or blue options as I think these will look good with either black or white pickguards. But, I'm a bit torn. Opinions?

Hey Pabs, you are the one that will have to decide on colour as everyone has different tastes. But I like all 3 options. What is the grain like is it worth staining ? If it's plain I like the blue
