Some more progress with the finish on this. My patience lasted two weeks. I've wet sanded with 800/1200/1500/2000, and then polished with Ultimate Compound several times. I'm very happy with how it has turned out - far from perfect, but really quite good.
There are still a few scratches in places, and the sides aren't done yet, so there's still some more polishing to go. I did a mock build with the cream plastics, and they're still not doing it for me.
I'm going to take the Tonerider AC2 classics out of my AG1 for this build, and then I'm looking at refinishing the latter (all the fun of making a new guitar without actually making a new guitar.) I think I'll keep the electrics fairly simple - I don't think I'll do coil splits, but I may have push/pulls to bypass the tone controls, or try a different tone circuit style - possibly a master passive treble/bass.
