Yeah, the neck feels smooth compared to everything else. I'll see about starting on 240.

I've disassembled everything for sanding. Traced the headstock outline onto the headstock:


Should I follow the existing bottom curve, or is it fine to cut it like that? I'm not bothered if I need to re-draw it, but I'd hate to take too much off through ignorance.

I gave the body a light rub down with a damp cloth to look for glue spots. I think I've found two.





Not too sure what to do about them. I've read "sanding probably won't work, use a wire brush". I'm 100% sure that doesn't mean "scrub it with the brush you last used to get rust off an old trailer", but apart from that I've got no idea and I can't seem to find an explanation anywhere - probably I'm not using the right search terms.
