    Most of the veneers are only about 0.6mm thick, so you have to be extremely careful not to sand through the veneer.
    Acoustics:
    1995 Maton EM725C - Solid 'A' Spruce Top, QLD Walnut B&S, AP5 Pickup
    2015 Ibanez AEL108MD-NT - Laminated Spruce top, Laminated Mahogany B&S, Fishman Sonicore Pickup


    Electrics:
    Pitbull LP-1S - http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=5745
    Carsen Superstrat Rebuild - http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=6284

    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.
