Good plan, assuming the wood is seasoned. Stickering in the shop does allow the wood to achieve equilibrium much faster. The wood that I process is stored in the part of my shop that has no humidity control, and the MC never gets much below 10% there. For space reasons, my 'program' consists of bringing the body wood into the humidity-controlled area of my shop a few months before beginning the assembly. Even that is conservative, because 3/16" thick wood on 1/4" sticks will equalize with the surrounding air in a few days. You can prove it by laying the wood flat, exposing only the top side. If it is not in equilibrium, it will curl. Flipping it over will cause it to curl in the opposite direction. If you continue to flip it over until the curling stops, it has equalized with the RH in the surrounding air. The area where the guitars are assembled needs to have a stable relative humidity, preferably at or below the average RH where the guitar will live. I keep my RH around 40%, which translates to about 7% MC in the wood.
One note on stickering. If the top plate in the stack is exposed, it will curl during the equalization process, though not as much as when the wood is laid directly on a flat surface. That is because the air circulation is better on the exposed side. You can eliminate that problem by placing sticks on the top piece, then placing a scrap piece of wood on top of the stack.
Resist the urge to clamp or otherwise restrain the wood during the equalization. The curling happens because the MC is not evenly distributed through the wood, not because of uneven shrinkage that is normal during seasoning.
A box fan (even set on the lowest speed) placed on the wood will speed up the equalization process tremendously.
