    ...what??...I need something to keep me occupied whilst the Jassmaster is curing

    Open to any and all suggestions on how to finish this one. Would staining it a nice red or blue hide the wood grain too much? Should I just lacquer it natural?

    hey Freakey, sweet looking spalted Tele

    anything other than natural top would be criminal ! You can stain the sides/back any colour would look great

    or possibly a light stain on the spalt but nothing dark will hide that amazing figure

    haha Freaky the stain colours are entirely up to you but if it was mine I would go natural or a really light yellow/gold or a light brown stain should work well. Possibly a light red stain would work too.

    Anything but blue as that would come out too dark.

    Red should work fine as I remember Andy's Red Spalted LP that looks great. Plenty of Coolangatta Gold spalted ones look stunning too.
