I have a roll of 240 grit and some W&D 360 grit I usually finish with 1200 grit followed by 0000 steel wool. so we'll see what happens. a patch or two. prob with butterscotch is it's a multi layer application. DB has to make it up special. He's back next week. so lots of discussion will be had before anything goes down.

kells80aus, not sure you should be going up to 1200 grit when using Wudtone. 1200 grit tends to polish the guitar and that will prevent the Wudtone from penetrating the wood properly. You may well end up with a 'patchy' guitar as a result of over sanding / polishing.

OK, Something, bad or something really Bad. Whoever has set up the CNC to drill the neck holes in the body needs to move them south a few mm. The neck hole centres are set at 6 mm from the edge. the screws are 4 mm dia, this leaves only 4 mm to the side of the neck from the edge of the holes. I checked it against the kit in the grarage that's waiting for it's shipping docket. The holes are teh same on both kits. they need to be moved south a couple of mm so the holes set up equi distant from the side of the neck. This needs to Be QC'd.
Any how, What the 'Nitro'(swear Word) I've pushed on regardless.

8O more neck holes one set is closer to the edge thant the other side... they should both be the same distance from the edge. It's a future point of failure.

Next. Mock set up then hole drilling. I got a bit carried a away and drilled the holes for the tremlo. never done a strat before. Ok drilled em about 5 mm too far back. but. Plugged the holes with timbermate and redrilled em further forward. ...... mmmm 'NITRO' drilled em about half a mm too far forward. means I have to trim a bit off the scratch plate. I went through all the thoughts of filling and redrilling, but though no real point. U can see a 1/2 mm of the tremlo route

The next four hours I spent applying and sanding a slurry of timbermate as a grain filler. BEER O'CLOCK, well it was two hours and three beers ago.... 80

That's going to look sweet Paul. Bugger about the holes and drilling, etc. How's the scale length going with all these moves?
