After some time, have a bit of progress to show.
Finished sanding the body and rounding over the edges, then applied a few coats of dewaxed shellac with a foam brush to seal the timber.
Let it dry/crosslink for about three weeks and sanded with 240 grit followed by 400. It looked like the shellac had done a good job of helping fill the grain until the first coat of primer went on. Plan to give this at least two weeks to dry and then sand to see how flat it is, or isn't. Fairly sure there will be more rounds of priming then sanding after that. Bringing back memories Nitro?
In the mean time it turns out will need to dowel up and redrill the tuners holes as there are a couple out by just enough that the Gotoh Kluson-type tuners don't sit in place right. Keeps me occupied while the paint dries.
