I left each coat a minimum of 24 hours before touching it. There's 4 colour coats and a couple of clear coats over the top to "lock" it all in. I don't feel it was rushed, but I did think it would take longer.

Acoustically, it sounds and plays great. But last night my soldering bit me in the a*** again. It was awesome for about five minutes then the neck pickup dropped out.

So this morning I bought a supply of the cable that I like using and this weekend I'll be redoing the electronics "properly".
