OK so I have finished the thing. I would say I am 7/10 happy with it. It is patchier than I expected, and I got too much red in the center so it doesn't glow as well as it could. For a first attempt and with virtually no info it ain't too bad.
a few photos of the stages -
1st coat of yellow
1st coat of red
2nd coat of red
1st coat of black
3rd coat of black
This was what I was shooting for -
Not to everyones tastes I am sure, but a little blues guitar like this should have a bit of mojo about it I think. I will write up a tutorial of what I did incase anyone wants to try it. From my test pieces the tru oil will darken the colours a bit, and I think the patchy parts should look quite nice once polished up. Now gota leave it to dry, clean up the bindings, bridge mask, then oil away!

A sneak peak at the finished product -
It needs a lot of setup work! But it sounds really good. Really really good :)
Will put up a load of pics in the gallery once I have the action right.
