Sanding attack complete and I think it was pretty successful.
The glued up split is down to a manageable size and with the colour on it is barely visible.
I had to resand a large area of the back end, due to me being careless in not macking sure there wasn't crap on my sanding bench. So had to hit it with some 80 grit followed by a cleanup with 240 Grit
Again the colour came back well
The horns are done the little stain near the jack hole is done. I rather think that one was an oil stain. I've had the same on other Junior's

Nice recovery PK, definitely worth the effort going back and making it right. That grain on top looks beautiful!

Tks Guys.

The marks on the back and side of the headstock look like what I will call Dingoe bites. File marks that weren't easily seen before the colour. They aren't major but will hit them with some 240 grit to get rid of them Sorry Dingo. DB shaped the headstock.

Cheers PK

"Dingo Bites". I love it!
The colour is looking beautifully deep now Paul. She'll be hot when she's shiny!

good fixup PK, this is moving along well now, keep the dingos away and it will be fine

Tks Guys,

this is just the Deep Colour Coat, I can't wait to see it with the Base Coat.
The Base Coat starts tomorrow, weather permitting. If it is too wet and windy It will have to wait a couple of days.
