Hi Arzi and Gavin, Thank you for the comments and I am with you on taking the time and be patient (not my strongest point!).

I really want to learn from the heartbreak I saw a few people go through on this forum and really take my time. From the get go, the motto was K.I.S.S (Keep It Slow, Stupid) I feel I might have rushed the sanding when so many people spend 3 4 hours minimum I probably spent 3-3 and a half hours maximum but I was worried about the maple top veneer. it was smooth so I went with it.

I will take your advice and do 10 before sanding (with TO) and then a few more after that.

A few pictures of a tiny glimpse of a reflection on that back and side and the neck for you. I absolutely fell in love with this neck and can't wait to play it.
