Looking great. A very unique finish, so you'll certainly stand out from the crowd.

Waxing won't be necessary with lacquer. If the back of then neck feels sticky, then a Fender custom shop guy suggested applying a couple of coats of carnauba wax, but otherwise, sanding and buffing should get it as shiny as a really shiny thing.

Definitely avoid any waxes or polishes with silicates in, as you can't get rid of them if you ever need to touch up the finish. They stop any new finish adhering to the old.

No reason why it shouldn't be a great player.

Just don't forget to fit that bridge post ground wire before you pop the post studs in.
