First build - TL-1TH

I'd go with finer grits and even a few micromesh grades as well. Not too fine unless you want a really glossy board. If you are polishing the frets, then once the basic scratches are out, I'd unmask it and polish the frets and board together.

Sounds like a plan. Finer grits and mesh pads, mask to sand scratches out of frets, then unmask to polish everything with 0000, and mask once more for polishing frets with metal polish.

But that makes me question how 0000 steel wool compares to something like 1200 grit wet and dry which is the finest grade I have at the moment. Or should I order some micromesh pads and skip the steel wool? I have read of people having issues with fine metal shavings causing problems.
