I finally manage to stain the guitar. its a pretty intensive session with high heart rate and alot of aahhh and ooohhhs. its not so easy to stain a burst and work on a large area and get smooth and equall transitions whole over the guitar, much easier to work on small try outs...

one differens from the earlier try outs, is that i left out the red from the dark areas. so now it is only, yellow, orange, brown and black.

one major issue, have glue line between the veneer on the top, and maybe some small gluespots still visible.. where afraid to use to much aceton during the staining.. have a few hopes the the finishing will help with that. but im stil a beginner and need some learning. too bad that you cant work a couple guitar at the same time ..

see this post, on the glue line

thanks to good tips in the post. Hopefully i will use some pen to try to hide the line, so it will not appear to visible. just need to order and we see in a couple of days..

here is the front


here is the back


on the front, there is also a pressure ding, close to the bridge. there the stain differs a little. but hopefully after finish it will be OK.

i have not done anything to the neck this far. dont really know what stain it will get, or if the headstock will get a custom veneer. But the neck probably gets an amber stain that is sanded down so it will look weared down, something like a classic fender neck.
