Thanks guys.

I get the impression this is standard issue with this kit, i.e. they're supposed to have that figure. I am very happy with it, although I'm making a pigs ear of finishing it, but that's another matter.

I have both my pick guards now, and I think I prefer the pearloid - good call McCreed.



How long do you think I should leave the nitro finish before final sand and polish? I've read anything from 2 weeks to a month. I had reserved some of my clear, but now I'm thinking I might be better off giving the body a light wet sand with 1200 grit to address any dust in it, and then applying the rest of the can. It won't help me with a sand through while it's still in the can.
