So with much deliberation and hand wringing, I decided to pull the trigger on the Wudtone Surfer Girl. I've read as much about Wudtone and it's characteristics that I can, but I want to start finishing. I'm at 240 grit on the body and neck, but the Wudtone supplier says I can 320 grit the neck. They also suggested I set the neck before finishing, because the glue that will seep out from setting the neck wont receive the color coat/basecoats and will be noticeable.
I do notice there are some glue spots where the 5 pieces of wood glued together to create the body are noticeable, more so on the under side piece, can these be wire brushed out? Or do I just live with these?
Should I 180 grit the End grain pieces as they seem much tighter in regards to grain?
