First Guitar build Ever, Starting with a scratchie.

Farnzie before you think you are ready to stain rub a damp cloth over the whole body and hold it in good light you should be able to see if you got all the machine marks out. Often as you found out you don't see the machine marks till a coat of stain goes on !

Truly amazing what you have accomplished so far farnzie. Great job.

I usually go to 400 grit but I imagine that is going a bit overboard. But I'm a bit anal that way. Whatever grit you go to make sure that you don't start to polish the wood as it will stop the stain from taking evenly.
