Good progress there Doc, the grain peep through does give it a little something eh?

Cheers and yep, I agree, it's as if the guitar body has aged to a vintage-ish kind of look without actually ageing for about 40 or 50 years, I think it definitely gives it a bit of character, I seem to remember seeing at least one Gold Strat that had aged so it looks like the grain is peeping-through the paint, seen some vintage Sunburst Strats like that too, so it's probably not that uncommon.
