"Thanks Bob", the original Stain was called Japanese Brown, but it was very dark (nearly black), so I thinned it right down with Methylated Spirits to lighten it, and will probably lighten it a bit more! :-)
"Thanks UJ", It was originally going to be built the other way round, so I guess there is a possibility to build the other half, and then maybe, join them together to create a Twin Neck Build.

Nice and interesting build AGP. The staining brings out the character to compliment the shape.
"Thanks BQ", always looking outside the box for something different! :-)
