    Grain filled using Timbermate Mahogany.

    Standard kit in custom orange stain. Gloss face and steel wool rubbed back and neck. Custom pick guard and pre-wired harness (vintage style). Reworked nut and 12-54 wound third Jazz strings. Sounds awesome.

    Sorry, but I have a very basic question - "grain filled with timbermate" - did that include the top? I mean, the instructions say DO NOT SAND THE TOP, so I'm really worried about mucking it up.
