Where is the best place to see finished cbg's for ideas on colored stains, trim etc?
I have a golden oak box with walnut fretboard on poplar but can't find a color to coordinate the neck and back? Clear finish is too bleached looking with poplar. I see slit if finished fronts but not backs
I know anything goes but I look at this as almost a piece if art when done

Not sure stained timber ever looks right along side a natural colour.Think I've just proved it with my jaguar hubcap guitar the stained ply body just looks wrong against the walnut neck
Take the box, neck, fretboard into your local home improvement or paint store and look at the stain samples. Should give you a good idea what to choose.

Aniline-type dyes, just like the factories use.
