I used 2000 straight up. It was pretty damn flat and I thought 2000 would be gentle enough. Nope. Not really worried, the tru oil has penetrated the wood well and this was always going to be a bit of a beater. Onwards and upwards. Gotta figure out the neck angle now.

Ok Pabs
Just a bit of bad luck then I suppose... Should have been enough to take the sanding but well...
Neck is glued.
The worst part is hoping I haven't forgotten anything. Don't think so, it all lined up really well as I was clamping it, but never 100% sure until the clamp comes off.
Got a new set of plastics cut. 3 ply, mmm hmm.

Does this look like a viable setup?
For the first time, it all makes sense to me and totally looks like it will work, but I have been so wrong in the past. Many thanks in advance.
