Ok so I should have done this before I posted those pics. I would be interested in everyone's input on here with the number of choice. It's a personal preference but I would be interested to know.
Cheers,
Alkay.

9 & 2 as mentioned before.
Here area couple of shots of the neck after using CA and micro mesh to 12,000 but no polish just yet. You can see the touch up eats away a lot around the affected area and to clean up I will start very lightly with 2,000 wet and then move on to 6,000 then 8,000 up 12,000 micro mesh pads. Requires a lot of patience.
I think 5 looks good and is unique

There is no undo button haha.
I like 1, 2, 3, 7.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I really like two and seven. How it turns out will probably be different. It's a first try at this so I'll see hahaha.

2 & 7 are very similar, just a deeper cut on 2 which could make the sharp pointy bit a tad vulnerable and susceptible to accidental breakage.
Hello,
Just thought I would give an update of the shaped headstock after sanding back and applying the stain.
I now need to put 11 coats of TO on to match the neck and the back of the headstock coats.
Also, the guitar body now has 22 coats of TO on it. The last coat went on 14/07/16.
Some of you guys are saying wait 1 week or 3 weeks before wet sanding?
Cheers,
Alkay.
