  • @SidecarBob
    @SidecarBob Před 3 lety

    I've been sanding things since I was a kid building model cars and one thing I've learned about sanding is that there are times to use a power tool, times to use a block and times when sanding with just your fingers and the sandpaper is the best.
    In fact, I recently did some bodywork on the wife's car and most of the areas were on compound curves so almost all of the finish sanding was fingers and sandpaper, just like you said.

    I had the same problem finishing an eletric guitar with an ash top before. It's frustrating to say the least. I was told that I should have filled the grain with grain filler and that it may need to be done several times before trying to put the finish on. It's quite difficult stuff to sand off but don't be tempted to use a rough grit paper. It's a long labourous process but it works.

    That's really a magnificently looking and sounding guitar! From my own (one time) building experience I know that after getting the neck set right the cosmetic part and the finishing really are the hardest parts. It's good to see that even for a seasoned professional like you that still holds true.
