Had a go at staining my ESB 4 this evening. I have the following spotty patches and I'm not sure what they are? I didn't sand the veneer before staining. The patches feel smooth and not raised like the glue around the binding (especially a patch near the f hole, the centre line of the guitar and a random dot a bit further along).
I'm not attached to the veneer so I'd sand it off if I could but my reading so far suggests that's not a good idea.
The only thought I've had so far is a pick guard just to hide the patch.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
