This is the result of six coats of the white stain (basically the whole bottle) and then four coats of the finishing oil (about half the bottle) with a day drying/curing in between each.
I've then spent a couple of hours this evening giving it a good going over with wire wool to remove some of the shine and the sticky feeling of the finish, and then giving it a very light relic with a wet & dry pad.
Next I need to order some pots and I'm not sure about the pickguard - I have an old white guard that has yellowed but I'm not sure..?
And the trem. I've gone with a Wilkinson unit but it's very shiny & chrome. Any tips for making it a bit duller please?

Now, about that dulling... Get a plastic a little box and put the hardware in it. Give it a shuffle to cause some random marks. Next, put some hydrochloridic acid in a saucer or bottle lid and place inside the container.
Give it an hour at a time until you're happy with how it looks. Make sure to do this outside or in a garage. Get a mask too
