First Ever Build - SV1

I need to do some small tidy up on headstock edge where I took off the tape and wondering what the best approach is. Should I just take to it with a fine grit sandpaper to remove any paint overhang or is there a better way?

Show us a picture if you can.

Also is there any need to tape up the front of the headstock when applying the tru oil on the back and neck? I was going to tape edge of fretboard but wasn’t sure if I shoul do anything else.

Depends on your application technique. Some do, some don't. Have a practice on scrap first to see how it goes on (especially around edges) and you might find you don't have to. I'm always paranoid about leaving a hard edge on the finish when taping up.
