Under the Deft is one coat of a dark red varathane stain and the top is two coats of varathane light cherry, then two coats of Danish oil/urathane, same on the neck except it took at least 6 coats of the dark red to even come close to the body. Half the parts are coming from Warmoth and the rest from ebay and should all be here by the end of next week! I'm using a tortoise pickguard from Warmoth with black covers and knobs, and gold hardware.
