Not much more you can do as the fret board should be fairly flat and level without too much grain standing up therefore this would be the only part of a build that I would use 0000 steel wool on raw timber and best to do this as far away from the rest of the build as possible as the stuff breaks down into the tiniest particles only to reappear where it is unwanted, such as the final finish, or worse still, stuck in and around the magnets in your PUP's.
