In a way or another it will look cool, an LP always looks cool XD. Personally I would had chosen the Black option, the idea of a dark and obscure guitar to play metal seduces me very much, in fact that's one of the ideas I have for future projects. But I understand you have decided the "sanding option", that veneer is really beautiful and it will look cool that way too. I'll follow this threat, it's very interesting, in a way or another you'll create a really cool guitar.
