    Hi Alkay good question. I always wet sand with the grain but that's just a habit. I think you will be ok if you go in a circular motion light pressure and cleaning the paper regularly. Maybe start the wet sanding using this technique on a less important part of the axe like the back
    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

    Thanks wokkaboy,

    To me it make it makes sense to go circular because I'm no longer sanding the wood grain fibers, just layer upon layer of TO(34 coats).

    I will test this technique on the back of the body first where the neck plate/4 screws brace sits. I'll let you know how I go and post later.

    Going to play on my Ibanez first

    Nice Hartke by the way. Whats the model if you don't mind sharing?

    Cheers,

    Alkay.
