Update on the build so far.
I decided to tape the binding after responses to my question on here.
Fine sanding is done and started with the staining. My first attempt at staining so hopefully won't destroy the guitar too much.
Done the back and neck in black.

Decided to do the headstock first that way I don't have to correct the larger area of the body if things go wrong. This is not finished yet, I need to burst it with some black around the edge.
