Thanks Andy40, I was mixed about the stain without a 'grain pop' look but now I have decided it is nice to see the great piece of wood as it is. I have now stained the neck and headstock... leaving it until the weekend to give it all a light sand with 1500 grit and then the intensifying coats will begin! Will post some more pics then... always wanted a PRS style guitar. Just hope the bloody thing plays well haha.
A bit nervous about gluing the neck but one thing at a time...
