Hi everyone, I'm excited to be here! In retrospect, I probably could have posted a little earlier in my build and avoided a couple of challenges, but I've moved past them and here we are now. Here's the body with dry fit components and (what I think is) enough of a lacquer build up to start finishing up. I'm thinking about sanding up to 1500 grit and then applying Minwax brand paste wax but I'm very receptive to a "Don't do that, do this instead" comment. Also thinking about staining the neck darker, like maybe a walnut and then going with boiled linseed oil on top of that. Again, if anyone has any other thoughts, I'm very open to another opinion. Thanks in advance for your interest and ideas!
