Surface Preparation

The fret board is glued in place and final sanding is just about finished. I just need to put the inlays and frets on the fret board and I think its about ready to paint. And poke some holes for the . I probably forgot something....


The fret board was one of the more simple glue jobs of this project. I left the nut on to mark where the board should start.

I sanded the maple top to 400 grit.The rest was sanded only to 220. Since everything but the top will be painted with a solid color, I'll be able to put a coat or two of grain filler on first. Sanding this beast was quite tedious. If I ever make another guitar it's going to be a rectangle..
