Yet another Sale item is coming my way.

I did some taping up of the edges to allow me to poly the binding last night. I ran my hands down the frets.....wow they are rough and sharp.

This is the second bound neck in a kit I have found rough ends on. It does show the fine detail work we builders do. I actually smiled when I thought to myself that this was another thing I had to do.

I think we are a little strange we G.A.S. sufferers. 

Seems perfectly normal to me...Igor.. what do you think?

Normal hey. Phew I thought I was weird. Ha ha ha.

Today I finished the tape up around all the binding....then I hit the binding with 240, 360, 400, 600 grit paper and then 0000 grade steel wool.

Then I looked at the front and back of the body....sides all taped at this time.....hmmmm.

Bugger it I thought. I have very lightly sanded the veneer and solid back with 240, 360, and then 400 grit. The veneer has cleaned up really nicely. A few lines remain...but I am not going to bother too much. I looks really nice. So far so good. Phew.

P.S. I did the fret ends and rolled the edges of the fret board as I did the sanding on the binding. I have a couple of fret files....one flat one and one triangle one with sanded safe edges on them. Nice feeling on the frets and the edge of the fingerboard now. 😎
