    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

    Oh well Kurt at least you weren't seeing another girl haha.
    Should still look good without grain popping but if you have the black stain it takes about 1 hour max and say few hours curing before you rub it Back

    Alright alright alright, you convinced me, where do you get this black stain from, would the big green shed hold this magical stuff of power?

    It's pretty much anything that's going to have the effect of staining timber black. I just used tribal black tattoo ink on last build. Rubbed it in, hit it with the hair dryer for 10 minutes and I was literally sanding it back within 20 minutes after application. What could be easier?
