Thanks Cliff. Yes, I'm much happier with it now. The black burst isn't perfect, but I think it'll look fine once the build's finished. I did do a mock build with hardware after I'd finished the stain and put a coat of oil on, just to get an impression of what it'll look like when done, and I think it's going to look great. Somewhat different to what I initially had in mind, but I'm getting used to guitars letting me know how they want t be finished ;-)
