I know this is a common problem, so if you go searching you may find various solutions. I remember Simon painting. Once you have it clean, putting some clear on it before adding any more stain, as TD suggests, makes great sense.

I tried staining an ES, but botched it and went with a solid color...but before that a bit of a problem like yours, although not as bad. I was able to get rid of most of it by scraping. It really just depends on how deep the crack is. Worth a try.

Hi Fender
i thought about that but it was right through the whole thing I talked to the old man about it he said to just put it aside till he gets home and has a look at it, it's too expensive to mess it up as my guns skill isn't that good I ordered new plastic strips Dad said he might paint it if he can get away with it I know nothing about painting im probably the worse painter here Dads pretty good at it, He an automotive spray painter and he's done heaps of them is I got to try to talk him into painting it, I got an ash Stratocaster with the es so I'm using that to try spray paint I can use all his guns and stuff bit disappointing but
