Most of the veneers are only about 0.6mm thick, so you have to be extremely careful not to sand through the veneer.

G'day mate, if you want to stain something with grain definition there are several choices such as the LP-1S with a spalted veneer cap, or maybe Ash in Tele or Jazzmaster, or mahogany bodies such as Firebird or LP Jnr double cutaway. The Ash Tele would have a similar neck to your Strat and the LP Jnr would be the smallest body.
wow, thats very thin, thanks for the info Zandit.Quote:
