Most of the veneers are only about 0.6mm thick, so you have to be extremely careful not to sand through the veneer.

G'day mate, if you want to stain something with grain definition there are several choices such as the LP-1S with a spalted veneer cap, or maybe Ash in Tele or Jazzmaster, or mahogany bodies such as Firebird or LP Jnr double cutaway. The Ash Tele would have a similar neck to your Strat and the LP Jnr would be the smallest body.

My 2c - strangely, I find the SG a more comfortable size than an ST - the body "feels" thinner (back to pickups), even if it is a bit bigger in the hips. Overall it comes down to personal preference - as a wood for staining, basswood is pretty vanilla as is mahogany, then you get your veneers and ash bodies.
