    Welcome, Michael

    We have a running joke here where I banish folk to the naughty warehouse for shopping at the big green shed

    Anyhoo, dont buy the cheap and nasty sandpaper, you wont get the results from it.
    I recommend Norton brand, (we sell sanding kits which are Norton brand paper) as the grit is consistant and actually stays on the paper..

    Enjoy the build and dont forget to start a build diary so we can see how your build progresses.
    Also, dont hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
