Personal record keeping.
Neck and body 39 coats.
First 2000 grit wet sand.
45 coats. I’d probably stop now, but I dropped my sharp edged metal rule on the face of it about six coats ago. With some spot fixing the gash is about filled now but I have to do some sanding and more coats to level the area.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I dropped my PRS body on its back and put too big a dent in it. tried to tru oil it back but its just too big!:mad:
Still it turned out okay.....shhh only I notice it.:eek:
I’ve found this wipe on poly easier to spot fix with than Tru Oil which Seemed to take longer to harden. I guess this kind of thing happens to us all

Play it a lot and you can say it’s buckle rash.Quote:

I’m ready to stop now. I believe three weeks is the recommended waiting period before polishing. I have micro mesh up to 12,000. Is there any benefit in using a cutting compound after the micro mesh and before polishing? What do people like to do after the final 2,000 wet sand?
loving this thread. The guitar looks wonderful - All these terms that I have NO IDEA what they mean. I guess I'll find out on my own build. thanks Dark Mark
Much appreciated BuffaloGhost and don’t worry, you’ll learn the terminology. Feel free to ask about anything you don’t understand.Quote:

My playing has improved as a result. Now I feel like I can’t play a guitar with a scratch plate...go figure.
Anyhow, I got myself a rosewood covered pickup ring and thought to myself, ‘using my remaining piece of rosewood veneer to make a scratch plate would really look the part.’ Of course I can’t do that now.
I did a semi mock build tonight and it just didn’t look right with the gold tailpiece. I checked eBay for wooden tailpieces, found one for $80. So, I’m thinking of making some kind of wood cover to sit over/incorporate into the gold tailpiece.
