Hey Y'all
I got my first kit in the mails today, an EXA-1 with black hardware and electronics form an ESP-1
the kit looks great straight off the bat and everything appears to be there
First thing I noticed was there is a bit of a gap between the neck and the wall of the neck pocket
any tips on dealing with/filling that would be much appreciated
next thing I noticed was a couple of glue spots
I'm planning on doing a solid finish so will these be an issue and if they will how do i remove them? I'm potentially going to be putting the guitar in with Strummers Guitars to do the paint but if I don't I'll be doing it myself with spray cans. From what I've gathered I should apply timbermate(what colour should I use? do I sand before application, after or both)
followed by primer several thin coats of colour and then a few coats of clear scouring with steel wool between each coat, is this right?
