I've decided to skip the grain popping, purely because I just won't have enough time to do it, the stain should be here any day now, I ended up getting into a bit of an argument with the girlfriend about why I hadn't been seeing her as much and I had to break the news. All she knows is she is getting a guitar, thank god. Doesn't know what it'll look like or anything apart from the fact that she's getting a guitar... Doing well I think :P
