That's a massive effort with the sanding, good job. I agree with Tony - the satin finish looks great. I'm a big fan of satin finishes and the fretboard looks great with it.

10,000 thumbs up for that effort mate!
@Tony, Andrew and Frank
Thanks guys, really appreciate the encouragement. Actually the wet sanding was not that hard, just time consuming. Luckily that's the one thing I have in abundance.
Looks amazing, great job.
I wonder that if you are still after that glassy finish, if using auto polish and buffing it up would give you what you want...
looks awesome Westie07, this will be another top notch Westie build !
I wouldn't worry to much about any slight imperfections on the fingerboard Westie as it will get a bit of wear and tear from the flatwound strings
This is rapidly becoming a stunning piece of art
Now that you are officially the Übersandingmiester, I will bundle up a heap of bodies and necks and send them to you Rob :)
You certainly have a pair of brass ones to try out that stuff but also nerves of steel...
Anyway - if we continue with different metals describing your work one comes to mind. Pure gold... :) huge amount of trial and error but in the end you always seem to succeed. Good job Rob! Or was it Westie now...? ;)
Thanks Stan. Yeah an auto polish is probably what I should be using, but I have some Brasso laying about the house so I'll try that. It's what I use on all my guitars and seems to cut pretty finely. I'll then use some swirl remover.Quote:
