Sanding...sanding...sanding...
Okay...coming along...it's starting to look like a guitar:
It's coming along...I had envisioned taking more off, but I'm liking it like this. The gap close to the heel of the neck ended up being a bit more than I would like, but I'm hoping that the 999 coats of lacquer I'm planning to apply will minimize that. Need to work that area a bit more...
Had to fill a couple gaps...the back of the body up the the edge of the cap is going to be black (and the back of the neck), so that should be okay...still thinking of doing a black burst...ether way, it won't be noticeable.
I wiped it back with a damp towel to get a sense of what the figuring will look like...I imagine some folks are going to shudder at the notion that I'm planning to put three big, fat MM pup routs into that wood
Need to sit down and finalize the layout for the controls...will be at that step before I know it...
QUESTION...when you guys are sanding, what grit do you work your way to for the best result (just working the wood)...I'm using 150 now and getting ready to go to a finer grit...how fine would you go before you were satisfied and moved on to finishing?
