PRS - 1TS - First Build

Man, that flame looks awesome Slayer! I hadn't considered one of these kits but you are turning my head. (damn you.)

If it were me, I wouldn't use steel wool over DT. its too risky if its not totally cured as little fragments of steel get stuck and then its a pain to get them out.

If sanding DT at all, I use 1200 or 2000 grit and lightly sand in one direction. if you get any balling up of stain while sanding, its not cured, just wait a little longer.

Good luck

Thanks Andy40, I was mixed about the stain without a 'grain pop' look but now I have decided it is nice to see the great piece of wood as it is. I have now stained the neck and headstock... leaving it until the weekend to give it all a light sand with 1500 grit and then the intensifying coats will begin! Will post some more pics then... always wanted a PRS style guitar. Just hope the bloody thing plays well haha.

A bit nervous about gluing the neck but one thing at a time...
