I use synthetic Steel wool for everything, frets and even down to final finishing before i get into with polish.

Update:
Just got another notification in my email saying that my order for the three new Entwistle ASN57 pickups is now complete....woohoo!!
I wasn't sure if the money-transfer had been processed, but there you go, all i have to do now is wait for them to turn up in the post.

Cheers, might see if I can buy some of that locally in Darwin.
It is good stuff.
The Sandpaper man in Brisvaugeness stocks it.

There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Here's something I want to ask you DB, since my next build is going to be a TL-51 Tele kit, what are the chances of you doing a Dingotone kit in TV Yellow, or something approximating the TV Yellow colour?
Doc, DB mentioned a TV yellow stain for his tele bass in the new thread, sure he can make one up for you.
You may want another colour with a gold strat
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Oops, I think I might have missed that, I'll have to check that thread out, I know but when I first saw that TL-51 kit amongst the other Tele kits the first thing that popped into my mind was "I want to build one in TV Yellow, like the originals", I can always build another Tele in a different colour.
Update:
Just checked the postal tracking for the stuff I ordered from Realtone Music, and this is what the most recent tracking update says:
In transit
Processed through Australia Post facility 3:43pm Wed 30 Mar Winnellie, NT
From that it looks like I may be receiving the stuff I ordered from Realtone Music tomorrow.

Here's an actual list of all the bits I ordered from Realtone Music, note that the Floyd Rose Intonation Hex Screws are for my Schaller Lockmeister Floyd Rose Trem Bridge kit:

The whole lot cost me Au $99.00 all up, packaging and posting was free since my order qualified for the express 1-2 Business day postage that Realtone Music were offering.
I have been really happy with Realtone Music so far so they have secured my continued patronage.
I'm also really happy with Pitbull Guitars and the customer support has been nothing short of excellent so far, Adam and all the PBG staff should be very pleased to know that.
