From previous experience I know I'm not good on bursts there Dedman, so I doubt that will happen.

Actually I was thinking keeping the front of the headstock and the edge of the body as is, and doing the neck and front/back of the body Black or very dark or Walnut Brown...

The mark on either side of the pick guard side F hole is the grain of the wood which hasn't taken stain. The upper F hole does have a glue mark that runs beside the binding and makes the binding there look a bit fatter. All the 'marks' on the back are where grain hasn't taken stain. Similar on the neck where next to the scarf joint and at the foot of the neck have absorbed extra stain so look darker...
