I'll be starting to put stain on my STA this week, I picked up a Sikens ebony stain from the green shed which I hope goes on thinner and lighter than the FW Black Japan that I have just sanded of my PBH4 kit.
One thing that I have done with both of the F style kits is to smooth the belly and fore arm cut transitions, out of the box I find them very harsh.
I'm still tossing up on the headstock I have the F templates and am torn between the anniversary and Ibanez headstock, one of the guitarists on the "Don Williams Live At The Stagecoach" DVD has a really nice Strat with this headstock and it does look the goods the body finish sort of looks like blue sky and clouds its stunning.
The fact that he's a hell of a player probably does no harm either.
