Possibly an artefact of the surface reflecting a lot of white light back. I’m sure it will look a lot redder with a finish on it. But maybe not quite the red you wanted. Try another application of the stain?
Edit: I see I missed an over the page post.
That looks good.
Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
I like it. It sanded out nice and smooth with no loss of color. Time to scrape all the tiny bindings on the f-holes, then start on the neck joint and cut the headstock (On a gr-1sf?!........ yes, this one anyway...).
The heel of the neck needs some contouring. The radius (contour) from the neck joint to the neck is a bunch of sanded flats. I'll straighten that out too. Yaaaaa hooooo.

hi i have a question first time on this forum, i am unclear on the copper shielding instalation for thrGR-1ST is there some where to check this out?
Hi
It's pointless even trying. You've got no ability to stick it all over the interior of the body; and unless it goes all over, it simply won't work.
I don't know what wire comes as standard with the kit, but I'm assuming it's just the normal single core wire. The best you can do is replace that wire with either braided screen wire or screened single core wire for the long wiring runs to reduce noise pickup. The pickups are humbuckers, so noise pickup is pretty minimal to start with, and it's those long single wire runs that are most likely to pick up any noise if there is noise to pick up.
If you are building a kit, best to start your own build diary so we can see and answer questions all in one location. even if you only ask a couple of questions. We'll try and help you the best we can.
thanks i will be starting a diary
