Will do. I've got a build thread going, it's an explorer 7 string.
IF the spirit based stain works well with the oil (shall see with the test patch), then it should look rad. Otherwise, may look rad for a different reason.
Planning to leave the stain on for as long as it takes to dry, then oil over it, so any spirit has evaporated or what not
