You're welcome. The nitro should be fine - it plays well with others and cures quickly

Back and sides look good after the day's spraying.
Top and headstock are a little bumpy, what should I be looking at for day 2?

Did a small amount of wet sanding down some of the bumps, but there were fewer this morning than there was last night, settled well overnight.
Gave it a bit of a dust and a clean.
Have it hanging again for the day's spraying then have to leave it for a few weeks. But I'm happy with it, it looks really nice. Can't wait to get a noise out of this thing.

The gorgeous metal pickup rings arrived and the bridge one is a solid mm or two taller than the plastic one that came with the kit.
Will this matter? It seems pretty high.

I think you have to raise the bridge a little or you can lower the pickup a little into the ring.

So it should only need an action adjustment if anything? It's not going to cause any issues having the bridge pickup high?

Can you show us a picture with the rings and pu's in a mockup?
