Time for some timbermate touch-ups. For this build I decided not to grain fill all over, but instead just fill any questionable areas like the old ground wire hole plug, bridge pup lugs, the body seam and tearing on the back of the body.

I find a mix of Pine and Natural Timbermate makes a good colour match for basswood, particularly when staining.

Once that was dry I sanded again with 240 and then up to 320 grit.
