Thanks for the great answers, it is already somewhat clearer what has to be done. Although not quite everything - sorry I'm new to almost all of this.

I'm a bit confused what my best course of action is now, so just to make sure, what is my best course of action to get a nice finish now?
I was planning to
-wet sand it flat with oil again (Do i...
As promised, here's the attached waterslide decal. I'm very pleased with how it turned out, there's no visible border and after one coat of tru oil there's nothing else standing out than the ink....
agreed! Explorers are way more comfortable to play than they look, because of the long armrest they offer.
I have decided on a logo and already printed it on waterslide decal paper. This weekend...
It's been quite some time and in the meantime I glued together neck and body to let it cure during the Christmas break. Before I did that I checked the neck angle several times by putting one or two...
Thanks for the great advice! I will let you know how the sanding and the next coat goes and I hope I don't sand through.

So after a long time of being discouraged because of this diagnose, I continued working on the kit. Thankfully I was checking other EX-Threads as well and apparently many had the problem of an...
I finally had the time to sand - unrelated note: with the famous song "I'm still s(t)anding" in my head - and now I was able to make the bridge and the neck fit. The neck fit is not too tight, but...
Here are the pictures of the piece that came off.

I actually joined the Explorer owner club while I was waiting for the kit :o:rolleyes: Just couldn't resist the GAS for a used one for a nice price, hehe.
Thanks!
I think for now I should only...
Hi everyone,
in this build diary I'd like to show you my progress on my overall second build and my first pit bull guitar kit - and probably ask a few questions in the progress ;)
My first build...
