I forgot just how massive those Q's are!
Nice job on the wireing Doc, if I may throw my 1.25cents worth in, it isnt necessary to earth pot to pot when you have done such a beautiful job with the shielding as it acts as an earth for you. But it cant hurt..

Now, with the amount of time taken on builds..
Sanding... Sanding sanding sanding..... Thats where the money shot lays... I am soooooo pedantic about sanding it can take a few full days just to get a body right.
1: I never use Roy Orbison sanders, they always leave tiny swirl scratches that can be a bugger to remove. The paper you get for most of the brand name orbos with velcro fasteners is to say the least, crap.
2: Never use paper brought from any of the BSFOS or the $2 shop. It will be crap, even the Norton papers I have brought from the shed was not as good as what I get from a specialist paper supplier.
Maybe it is just my pure hatred for the BGSFOS projecting onto the papers or, as I suspect, they buy the stuff that would normally get binned for not passing QC or stuff that is made just for them. IE: cheap crap because thats all the BSFOS want to sell, cheap crap.
3: The sanding process... I will start with either 180 or if things are really ropey, 120 grit.
Then up through the grits to a minimum of 400.
I hold the body up to the light and stare at it from every angle known, plus I invent a few new angles as well
If I can see so much as one tiny line that shouldnt be there it gets sanded again.
Once I am happy with it, I will then go down a few grades of grit depending on the finish I am using.
For DT 400 grit is fine but for Nitro I will go back over it with either 340 or 220 grit. This depends on the timber. Open grained timbers I will go 340, tight or closed grain 220.
I know it sounds counter productive to sand to a high grit then go back over with a coarser one but it eliminates all deep scratches and gives a really nice surface for the finish.

Yes, I am anally retentive. But when someone is paying me 3-6k for a custom Guitar, they deserve nothing less.
Sanding rant over. I need more coffee.
