    Hey! thanks everybody for your welcome and help.
    I´ve done the neck / bridge alignment check and seems to be fine, a bit to the treble side but guess it is tolerable with this kits.
    Nut grooves on both E strings are almost the same height measuring from the bottom, good guess. im going to deal with that later as suggested.

    I think that the conflictive frets are not a big deal, actually there´s a small bow on the side of the Fretboard that makes it looks worst, think I can live with it.

    Made a U turn on the finish thoughts, im not going to fool my self with the seafoam green (I know how this ends). Im going to use a black stain, and tru-oil (my place is not really spray friendly). Maybe I can put a green knob somewhere jajajaj.
    Thanks for the tru-oil tint warning, I don't think amber can contribute in a good way to seafoam green. Maybe on a vintage look, but that's not what im looking for.

    So now i´m going to cut the headstock and sand everything up to 240. Im a bit confuse about grain filler, should I use it before the stain? Can I use it before and after? Was thinking if I put a first coat of stain and sand it just to get a deep black in the grains, then a stainable filler, and then stain again, it could generate some kind of a 3D fx... maybe it doesn't work that way, will make some tests before.
