Today I taped the binding and neck in preparation for sanding. I still need to shape the headstock but I don't have everything that I need to do that at the moment.
I'll be using a black grain filler on the sides and back of the body.
I need a bit of advice:
1) Should I do any sanding at all before applying the grain filler? Or is all sanding done after applying the grain filler?
2) The body is ash and the neck is maple. Should I start with 180 grit on both?
