Hi wazkelly,

Ouch I didn't know you could melt them off that easily. I hope I don't have the same problem when I get to that stage. Hopefully you have a good test run on Sunday with the upgraded parts then and check if there is any buzzing.

I've been looking at the conductive shielding paint on ebay but not sure how many ml's I should get?

Tend to think you may end up with 'Reverse' grain popping where the Cedar will highlight the spalted bit from stop tail piece section to strap button location and also help to bring out the other bits on the outer planks.
Here are some pics I have just taken outside while it was damp.

Yes I agree with you about the sanding. I'm too worried to do any more incase I go through the veneer.

I'm not sure if Cedar is a good choice now. It doesn't look that appealing to the eye so I'm open to any suggestions anyone may have.

Cheers,

Alkay.
