Well its finished, unfortunately it seems I had a bit of moister underneath my clear and it came up a couple of days after I had shot it. I had a little bit of sand through on the stain and tried to touch it up but I obviously didn't let it dry long enough. But anyway ill just chock up to learning and move on. I added a vid of my buddy Rob tuning it and taking it for its maiden test run. (593) Bandsman test run - YouTube
All in all your guitar looks great! This was your first one, right?
I think your decision to leave it and move on is correct. After you gain more finishing experience you can always come back and redo it.
Practice on scrap...
@mattbeels just my first bandsman I have done 2 others a warlock and of course a strat but both were painted, this was my first stain job on one and its my best one guitar besides the finish so far. But on to the next one, I have been out in the driveway processing enough rough sawn lumber to do another bandsman body and tele body and about 3 necks lol this is most of it.
