If the former, I'd use a Crimson stain with finishing oil over the top - cheap, and easy.
Or you could try one of the Osmo stains, particularly if you want a white-ish finish like the image above.

I've never tried Osmo but it seems about as simple as it gets.
How would I mix it? as in ratio? When you say oil paint, like B&Q Dulux or are there specific paint I should be looking at.
When it is done, do I still need to apply a layer of nitro lacquer from a can?

you can mix it up say 50 or 100 ml polyox then start adding controlled amounts then mix wipe a little on to some scrap until you get the mix you want.
Unfortunately, I don't actually know what I did wrong, and so have successfully repeated whatever the error was. The front and back are exactly what I was hoping for, but it just wouldn't 'take' on the edges for some reason. I have tried sanding off the worst runs and blobs, and (just to compound whatever the original mistake was) I'm trying to patch the sides with a different brand (Fiddes), but it's not very much better. I'm not into relic finishes at all, but the sides looked much better just being sanded down, so I think it's either live with a 'worn' look or maybe flog on and let someone else have a go.
Good luck with whatever you decide anyway

Sandpaper to smooth it down first, then spray a couple of coats of the blue (decided to go for this), to sort of recreate this Nash guitar that I almost bought once upon a time.
For the headstock, what can I use for the finish? Just the Lacquer or the Osmo oil? Thanks

Need to mask off the neck joint, somehow create a contraption so it is hanging in the air for me to spray it 360...
