Question about a natural strip in a stained guitar

[Aidan Homer]

I am planning on making a TLA-1Q guitar kit, but I'm having a dilemma in figuring if the finish that I'm planning to do will work or not.



This is a basic concept of what i'm wanting to do here.

My question is, is it possible to get that kind of crisp line while using a stain or water based dye finish? I've done some digging and hear that FrogTape is supposed to work well for this application, but I was hoping that someone more experienced with this could give me a solid answer. I know that I could in theory just finish the whole guitar and then sand down the strip, but from what I've read the veneer is only about .6mm thick, so a lot of sanding is out of the question. A little bit of bleeding is acceptable in my book, but anything more than that (I.e, anything noticable from more than 3 feet away) is not okay.

I also plan on doing a TruOil finish over the whole thing in case that changes anything.


Thanks!
