[QUOTE=Gavin1393;82859]I'm not sure at this point whether to keep the back and side natural (i.e. Dingo tone Clear) or to use a colour? White or black (but not keen on black). Had originally thought all white....but wondering about 'clear'?

My initial reaction is go white all round. Even the neck and headstock. I think black would look kind of cheesy. If you wanted to go for a non-solid finish on the rest I think you would need to stain it a bit darker than the current pale wood colour. (but that's only my opinion)
