I think this was the first thing I did. It was pretty chewed up and was hard to sand evenly (with the tool I was using at least.) But it’s miles better than it was and it made me feel better about the guitar. I then proceeded to make more sanding dowels and clean up all the drill holes, the corners of the pickup cavities, etc.
These are inexpensive kits which usually means (for manufacturing in general) the Factory tooling (bits) is not changed frequently, and also less concern about “Feed and Speed” when machining which leaves a lot of tear out and rough holes.
