So, I still haven't finished my SG, but somehow I ordered a JBA-4M from PBG... it just happened

Pretty much everything will be upgraded.
Ordered Tonerider pups and Babicz bridge from PBG.
And bone nut, electronic kit, tuners from Realparts.

The plan is to go for a 'barn' style body by brushing the ash body with a wire brush to remove soft wood, then stain dark brown/black and finish body and neck with True Oil.

Now it looms like the factory glued a veneer on the back of the body (see photos) and I find it looks weird and it's not going to work with my plan to distress the wood!

Do you guys reckon I can sand it off to bare wood?
Cheers
