My first kit, LTA-1

Hello everyone!
I'm Eddy, an Italian guy from Perth.
I'm building my first kit ever, an LTA-1. I'm not too good with tools and wood but I decided to give it a try anyway. Hope for the best!
I've just finished to sand and grain fill the body of the guitar. It looks a little bit pink, is it normal? I've sanded it down to 240. Shall I sand it a little bit more or can I paint it next?

Thank you very much for your help!

I'm posting some pictures, including my headstock shape...

Welcome along Ganna - many here have limited woodworking skills - some have even been advised by former teachers never to work with wood again, yet have built beautiful acoustic guitars... Looks like you've started well - drop a line if you have any questions.

Welcome. Nice looking kit you've scored there and like the headstock.

Welcome Eddy. That would be a TLA-1 kit. Looks great. What grain filler did you use? I think timbermate maple can look pink.What are you planning solid paint or stain? Headstock shape looks great

Yes, I'm quite proud of my headstock! ;)
I'm doing it in DT gold stain. I used timbermate, i was a little bit scared at first but after a quick look on internet looks like it is normal to have a pink veneer on the wood...

Hi Eddy. There shouldn't be a veneer on this body. It should be solid ash. What color timbermate have you used? not sure how gold will go over pink

Maybe it's a combo, the back could be veneer, the front doesn't look so

Actually Ponch now I can see the body on a PC screen (not a mobile screen) it looks like there's a 1 piece veneer on the back and the front looks like 3 pieces with no veneer. That's weird why the factory would veneer the back and not the front instead. Also puzzled why only 2 neck screw holes have been drilled in the body. This body must have been done after a Friday liquid lunch !

Oh,oh. Actually I thought that the front and the back of the guitar were different but because this is my firs kit I thought it was normal. What I should do now? If I sand more the back of the guitar holes start to pop up on the veneer , that's why I filled them.
What about the neck holes? Shall I just drill the other two?

By the way I used timbermate mahogany...
