This is my first build and I really wanted to try a hollow body jazz style guitar, as Steve Howe is one of my idols haha. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the body came with a quilted maple top, but I’m a little confused as to what I should do in regards to sanding. In preparation for this build, I’ve been watching other es-3 builds and sanding guides, and I had planned to sand the whole body like most other people did. However they did not have quilted tops, and the Pitbull Guitars instruction manual says “If your kit has a veneered top such as Spalted, Flame, or Quilted Maple, DO NOT SAND THE TOP!” Should I not sand at all, or is there another option to prepare the body for staining? Any help would be appreciated!!
