After the bulk was removed it was time to start refining the transitions. I used the block plane to remove the bulk of the roundover, real quick and dirty like.
Then it was outside for some fresh air to do the hand sanding. Trying to make the transitions as organic as possible with no hard lines.
I took it up to 240 grit, and really tried to make the shoulder where the countour meets the face of the guitar as unobtrusive as possible. I ended up sanding a lot of the paint (eventually all) because I was going to have to repaint anyway. For like the 8th time.

And the side view showing the absolute chonk. Hey, this isn't meant to be a replica, so I don't mind if things aren't "right".
