Thanks for the timely reminder Waz.
Spent a lot longer than expected final sanding and polishing but got there eventually. Fairly sure I got the ES-3 I did a few years ago polished in a weekend, this took quite a bit longer, not saying the end result is any, better just took longer. Now there are some 'pock' marks still here and there and while I'm moderately confident there is enough clear built up to sand them out, don't want to find out the hard way that there isn't at this point. Can try and sand them out later if I feel the need.
Then started installing the wiring and heeded Waz's tip and used a couple layers of masking tape and strategically place cloths to try and minimise any scratching.
Don't forget the earth wire.
First time I tried freezing the bushes before knocking them in, worked a treat. Still used a M8 bolt in place of the actual bridge and tailpiece posts.
Next is fitting the machine heads and the very thirsty fretboard is drinking up the Dr ducks about as fast as can be put on.
