So the FrankenLab was busy last evening with the sounds of sanding. Long story short, this hog body is a lot rougher than any of the other bodies I've had to date.
There's a lot of sanding in my future. The Veneer cleaned up really nicely with a couple of passes at 400 grit so there's no need to do any more there. The edges have some heavy scratches and digs, so they are going to need most of the work. There will definitely be some grainfilling needed.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Better start eating some spinach so you can grow arms like Popeye to help you cut through the sanding a bit quicker.

In a way or another it will look cool, an LP always looks cool XD. Personally I would had chosen the Black option, the idea of a dark and obscure guitar to play metal seduces me very much, in fact that's one of the ideas I have for future projects. But I understand you have decided the "sanding option", that veneer is really beautiful and it will look cool that way too. I'll follow this threat, it's very interesting, in a way or another you'll create a really cool guitar.
Thanks Ghaynas, I'm still conflicted on the flame top. I am going to test Wazkelly's grain popping treatment on some scrap, then I am going to attempt it on the top.
If it all works out, then a translucent top it shall be, with a dark burst at the edges. If it all goes badly this LP is going to go dark!

India ink should work. Just tend to find ink jet inks are really powerful in their colour tones and have lots of depth whereas ink pad stuff can be a little bit dull in comparison. If the India ink is made for fountain pens and looks very, very black on paper or timber you should be right to go.
