Just took delivery of my GR-1SF kit. Very excited so did a dry build straight away. Looks nice just like that.
As this is my first build I am going to keep it simple and do it in colourless Dingotone. Hopefully I have attached a few images. A bit”cart before the horse”, but I have already designed my logo.
I think I will leave the pick guard off so you can see the f holes.
A few rookie questions straight off the bat -
1. Is the veneer on these hollow bodies able to take much sanding?
2. Do I need to use a filler before staining?
3. There are a few chips in the veneer next to the neck pocket. What is the best way to fill these, considering I am using a colourless stain?
4. Should the binding be masked before sanding, or should the binding actually be sanded also to get a smooth interface between timber and binding?
5. Should binding be masked before staining, again considering I am using clear stain?
