Great pseudo book matching. Either it’s two pieces of the same veneer, or you had two consecutive slices you could use to get that matched so well.

All three veneers looked to be consecutive slices, so you can imagine how happy I was when I had my light bulb moment.

Question, I’m going to do a natural finish with gloss poly on the body and satin poly on the neck. What grit sand paper would people suggest I sand the body and neck down to? Would if differ between a solid body and the hollow body kits? Thanks in advance.

probably no finer than 320 or 400, you still want the clear to have something to hang onto.

Ok, thanks Dedman. There are a couple of big scratches, but apart from them the body looks good. Shouldn’t be too much of a chore.

And the guitar has a name.
