Looking good - my suggestion - (maybe a little unhelpful), but DONT DROP IT! Apart from that - Wudtone for the neck is dead easy to apply - I did end up masking the side of the fretboard - more so I didn't have to be as careful as I was using Vintage Amber which does introduce a colour...

With the neck have a close look at where the heel of the neck is visible above the guitar - make sure that this gets some stain - it's a pain to get to putting it together and find that you've missed a 5 mm wide strip between the top of the neck and the top of the guitar.

If you haven't done the top coats - take your time - it does create a pretty solid coat on top, but it can still be damaged. As such once it is all dried - protect it in some way while you are attaching all the bits and pieces - I saw a beautiful guitar the other day that had been damaged by a control plate when it was being put together - nothing quite so heartbreaking as seeing something damage your hard work that you're stoked with.
