Thanks guys! I got my headstock shape finished today and applied two layers of stain to it and the neck. Went with Minwax Red Oak stain and it turned out great!
Cutting up footage from today's work here now. Going to apply the headstock decal and put a clear coat over the neck tomorrow and then upload the next video featuring all the work on the neck.
As far as my plan goes, I intend to do a deep red/burgundy transparent stain on the body with a slight burst effect. I've never attempted the burst effect before with stain, so I will probably try it out on some scrap wood first until I'm confident with it. Going to install the stock pickups for now, but if it plays well and has the potential, I will definitely look at an upgrade in that department.
