Danish oil is my favourite finish although the climate here can be too cold and damp most of the year. Definitely a job for outside working due to the aroma.

Probably acrylic  – you can use clear and paint the underside any colour you like prior to gluing and it comes out fine.

Good tip – thanks @eddie6string!

I would probably recommend the latter. It’s obviously a bit more work to set it up but the results are more accurate.

Meanwhile – I’m chuffed with progress on semi-hollow Telecaster style geetah.
Applied the mahogany back today. Will trim and sand tomorrow,  then seal prior to clear coating.

@eddie6string That is seriously cool, I’ve got to make one. 👍

Hopefully it will go from
Yellow 
Yellow over green
Green over mid blue
Mid blue over midnight blue
Midnight blue on the edge

@eddie6string Yeah, nice colour scheme, I like that idea.

Tempted to do body similar to LP junior for thickness as this would be easier, but that walnut is crying out for carving – Waddayafink?

@eddie6string Yeah with Walnut like that, it definitely need carving.

I typically like a slab body for the LPJ style guitars but a carve on yours seems appropriate. It’ll look very classy with that center strip, plus a carve is more comfortable to play imo. 
Have fun!
