Andy, I'm intending to sand back a bit more, but will probably allow the timbermate to keep darkening the non-grain parts a little. Instead of planning this one out like I did the Tele I'm trying to let myself be guided a bit by how it progresses, if that makes sense. Maybe a step towards getting a bit more creative with this stuff.
I'm leaning pretty hard towards the Nullarbor Ochre after looking through previous GOTM threads last night.
Fuzzbeard's STA-1 and this tele (I'm sorry, I can't remember who built it) are both in NO have a pretty nice colour that I think will be cool with black grain, and I'm pretty sure both are ash bodies.
Which brings me to another question. If (it's a big if) I was going to try to find an ash veneer for the headstock, when do I attach that? Before shaping the head? After? Is there anything else to consider besides "glue, clamp, wait, sand"?
