Complete beginner here: I just received my warmoth strat body, alder with quilted maple lam top. I want to finish it myself in tiger eye brown, but not right now. I want to experiment on scraps and really be confident before I finish the body. I want to put it together and play it now though! What steps should I take to protect the wood? I assumed it would not be wise to just start playing it raw, with my sweat and oils all up in its business. Thanks! Jason
