A EIR Dred in the D45 tradition

[Kevin in California]

I was not done spraying.........
I sprayed two more coats yesterday morning, and two more last night,
then this morning one more full coat, and then an 50/50 thinned coat to flow out the surface.
Now it looks very good with all voids filled, so I am now done.
Time to let it sit for 3 weeks.
I have some other projects to work on while the finish cures on this guitar, so I will not start the next guitar for a little while, but will finish this one up the end of the month.

Alright!
My 3 weeks wait was up Saturday. After a weekend at the cabin, I started wet sanding this afternoon. This time I'm starting out with 800 grit instead of 600. It is slower on the initial leveling to flat with no shiny spots, but I just thought I'd try it this time. I like the results.
You could probably start polishing at this point. I have 1000 and 1500 grit waiting, so I'll go through these grits before the polishing stage.
The finish is quite hard and is sanding nicely and is not clogging my paper much. It will take me all week to do all the wet sanding, and then hopefully polish on Saturday, glue on the bridge, make the nut and saddle and have it strung up by the end of Labor Day!
We shall see!

Can't wait to see and hear it!

The "hear" part I'll have to figure out.
Can I just record a file into the computer and post that sound file?
