Cool! Thanks! I'm most worried about the finishing part, honestly. What did you end up doing for it? I keep debating between whether to leave the wood visible

I keep debating between whether to leave the wood visible (with Tru Oil or wipe-on polyurethane), or paint it (lacquer, super labor intensive, slow, expensive), or dye/stain it and use a clear finish on top of that.
- myguysi 7y agoI ended up filling the grain with wood filler dyed black and make it pop and then layered a few coats of trans-red from a spray can so you can still see the grain. It’s not a glassy finish but that’s what I was going for and the colour is amazing! I always wanted a red strat with a black pickguard and gold hardware so I thought why not! I’m personally a fan of leaving the wood visible but the best thing is you can do whatever you want and it’ll be awesome because you made it.
