I'm actually thinking of doing just that, thinking of installing the neck before doing the stain anyway

Right proper PIA once neck has been set trying to flip the guitar applying the finish. Understand why as it should create a better finish around the neck joint but biggest downside is how clumsy it gets as I found out on my EX-1.

Agree, I tried this method with an LPJ and it was nothing short of a PIA when applying the finish.
