    Good advice Woks. On veneer I usually stain, no sanding. Then the sanding back process also sorts out any glue spots, killing two birds with one stone.

    haha something like that Fretty. I don't mind sanding but always a fan of minimising it !

    that's a sweet looking kit Moose, I like the idea for a stained front and a darker back and sides, keen to see this one being done, they are just such an awesome looking guitar hope my collection will stretch far enough to include one.

    I'm still trying to decide on color, likely a natural/amber top and neck with darker back and sides. Finish will be Tru Oil on dye, or shellac.
