I fancy having a go for my current guitar build. Just wondering if anyone has done it and has any tips/pitfalls etc?

Using a vinyl (e.g. 3M "Fine Line") masking tape minimises the amount of scraping you need to do and if removed while the lacquer is still soft (but dry of course) leaves a nice sharp line.
There is a Stewmac demo here too:
