Starting to come along, up to about 35coats of wipe on poly, (should have spent more time grain filling) but it is slowly getting there.
Didnt quiet like the bright white knobs/pickguard so have changed to this look.
I originally tried the soaking in coffee for a week, it came out OK but it was a little blotchy and not quiet what i was after, so ended up getting some paint and im happy with this colour..
