Winter 2017 Build Off - Speak of the Devil

[mapleglo]

I decided to just wet sand to 2000. Don't want to take a chance this far along.

I'll finish up the back and the neck tomorrow, then polish, and then sweet, sweet assembly

Body and neck wet sanded to 2000.

Nice!

Looking great Nexy...

If you want to, you can hand polish with the 3M Super Duty compound. Put a blop on a micro-fiber polishing cloth and go at it. Build up those bulging Luthier elbows.

That is lookin' sooo sweet!

The strap I was working on was not working out, so I ordered one from Amazon. It just came in.

I think it'll work well. I wasn't liking the black and red either. This tan on brown is a nice alternative, I think.

Seems like a better match with the inlays on the fretboard
