Thanks Andrew. Sort of lost count, probably 5 or 6 thin coats to build up a top coat. Then a final coat after a light sand (600grit).
Andrew the LPJ in your avatar photo is that a PBG kit?
Ah yes. Here's the build thread and final photos

Thanks Phrozin. I'm very happy with the finish, originally thought I might end up with a tabacco burst, but after the golden teak stain went on it was never going to be anything but desert burst. The photo courtesy of google images is of a Gibson LP in desert burst just as a comparison.
