Hello Guitar Gods.

I am wondering whether I'm on to a hiding here, but I was wonderin'.

I just got a new kit, an LP shape thing from fleabay, it has quite a nice maple cap on it, with a nice flame. I was going to do it flamed black, with solid black body, sort of like a deluxe looking LP Custom black beauty jobby. But the maple is quite pale and from looking at it I thought, hmmm maybe I could the same but in white. but I have no idea how you would actually do this? I thought maybe a light black stain to start to really bring out the flame but without making it too black and then a pale white thin paint over the top.

Maybe something like this..
