Hi Trevor!
I intend to oil the neck (maple) and fretboard (rosewood) and paint the body and headstock face a solid colour (possibly a warm retro-ish yellow).
The body grain is kinda nice, so I did consider a oil/clearish finish on that too, but the joins in the pieces of the body could look a bit odd given the steps in the face of the body, given the Thunderbird shape, so I reckon a solid colour will look better.
