Will sanding a roasted body change the color of the wood? I understand the roasting process stabilizes the wood and that a roast guitar body can be finished with a oil finish. But I don't particularly like the dark color of the wood after roasting. If I lightly sand it can I get beneath the outer shell and get to a lighter color? If I do this will it harm the benefits from the roasting process? If I sand certain areas of the body to remove wood to gain greater access to the neck on both horn scoops will these areas look materially different in color than the rest of the body? Thanks.
