I like the back colour, and like Wokka I think you want to avoid going for a "warm" red back with a "cool" blue front. The colour at the moment is neither warm or cool, so I think it should work well.

Cheers fretty. It is growing on me I must admit. I tried to mix it a neutral colour that was pretty close to the pickup rings I made and it's not too bad.
Will do a light sand with 600 to clean it up a bit and re-stain a little and then it'll be time for clears. :)
sounds good Nicko, so the neck will be clear ? You staining the headstock ?
Love the blue Nick and that quilt looks fantastic. Back colour looks good and will come up with clear.
Back again with an update.
Mixed a slightly darker brown and cleaned up some patchiness on the top/back/sides.
Will let this dry over the next few days then go to the shop, clean up the binding and clear coat!
Pictured with the pickup rings I made - a taste of what's to come!

EDIT: @ Wokks probably won't be staining the headstock. Want to keep it more natural colours everywhere besides the blue to make it a bit more grounded and not gaudy :)
Oh my. Unreal.
blue seems the go lately, and yours looks great Niko
Cheers lads.
@Stan yeah I know. Trendy colour of the month eh :D I'm digging it hard though. Love this blue/natural combo
Very deep blue there Nicko, loving it!
Like that denim look Nicko. Should be amazing with clear. Does this mean you will be playing the blues even if it's rock...
