more sanding
soak your paper before sanding - this will keep the material from wadding up on your sandpaper and possibly scratching your beautifully sanded up till now surface.
i bought these little sanding pads from stew mac and i love them. i use them all the time - nuts, saddles, fingerboard repairs, everything.
so i got the neck nice and smooth - no more orange peel, very shiny
here, i cut the decal around the letters to make it look a little more like the original.
this is me fixing my goof. i sprayed the white toner on the neck as well as the body - shouldn't have. the original necks were not toned with white. now you can see why - all the black position markers turned milky and gross. what i did was scrape off the finish in those areas, and since i had to spray more lacquer over the decal anyway, i'll be retouching these areas with clear lacquer later.
and i scraped all the finish off of every fret. it wasn't too bad, actually - scrapes right off.
