yeah, I know, mate.
Wax on, Wax off.
But I do want to knock this out and see how it feels to play
Believe me when I say everyone here knows exactly what you mean.

Hello swining beef, I've bought the same kit and started sanding, your input here is fantastic, I've choose the karijini red and clear for neck and might apply clear on the side of the guitar, never done this before myself, I'm hopping to finish it nicely, this kit is awesome and would be a waste to ruin it lol...
Sounds like a good plan!
One thing I will do next time...
Focus on the glue near the binding and joints.
There was a fair bit of glue on mine, and while I sanded it like a bastard, the stains did not take the way I would have liked.
There is a very skilled craftsman on this site, who had a similar problem with a tele build, and he utilised a method of 'tattooing' the timber to get the stain to take in an even fashion.
I didn't get around to bolting stuff on this weekend.. but soon
This is the finish it gets to keep.
Wow! This is looking stunning!
