So it's my 22nd birthday and as fate would have it I got shingles as a present (yay). So with nodes in my neck and jaw the size of golf balls and my face so swollen one of my eyes is forced closed it was to my surprise (and delight) that my baby arrived today.

Here's the neck DB lovingly fretted for me (thanks again mate)



Just a little bit of height on the nut (lol)



Money shot with one pass of a damp cloth on one side to show the grain. Luckily there aren't any nasty glue spots that I can see.




So when 'm sanding this top - since it's so thin I want to sand as little as possible. Should I start around 320/400 or should I still go through 120 etc? It doesn't feel too rough so I'm hesitant about starting in the rougher grits. Anyone with past experience with these tops chiming in would be great.

It begins (again)
