Ok further investigation reveals.... erm I’m not sure. I carried on sanding and there is definitely a fill of some sort. It’s strange. I can live with it. Lots of sanding done at 240 then 800. Lots more to do. Not sure when to stop ha ha.





Gave the top a light sand and still did the inevitable “through the veneer” trick so glad it’s going to be painted.



Sanding the sides and back (these will be stained) the grain doesn’t always go perpendicular to the sides so was putting a few scratches in there until I noticed and then sanded in the right direction (about 45 degrees across in some places.) anyway it’s looking and feeling pretty smooooooooth. Little finger sanding blister to show.





I also sanded out the pickup holes a little so that my pickups now fit without touching the sides. It only was a fraction needed sanding.
