    Oh yeah I know and it wasn't directed at you, if that wasn't clear. But more to the point of, we use all that material and waste so much to get a flush/glass surface.

    Yeah sorry, didn't think you were having a go. Just meant to reiterate the sanding part.

    And, yes, I wouldn't be surprised if more poly ended up in the rag each time than what goes on the timber!
    I know we try and balance a thick enough coat to protect the timber and a thin enough one that it's not "too thick", but literally paper-thin is thin!

    IMO, the whole "thin finish is better" debate is just more internet BS when it comes to electric solid body guitars.
    Acoustics and maybe semi-acoustics, yeah, but that's a whole other kettle of fish...
