As i've just finished off a PBG i've decided to start another project and try and put some of my lessons from my very first build into a second.
Its a non PBG so hope its ok to post on here for some advice.
I've started sanding but have 2 major things i just can't decide on, the first being should i grain fill and pre seal and the second is what colour should i finish this in.
The guitar is a mahogany body, neck and headstock, with a maple fretboard and hard maple body top. I've included a pic (hope that's ok) of the body so you can see.
The only things i know are:
1. Would like to make the back of the body and the headstock, neck darker than the body top (should be easy given its mahogany)
2. Don't want just a plain clear finish on the maple as i find its a bit light at the moment
3. Maybe a light colour stain?
I figure that given i keep changing my mind i would throw it open to everyone here and get some feedback
I would like to make the grain stand out more but not sure if possible on the hard maple.
