@liebe surfacing bit from radian tools, use it then give it a quick sand and it’s ready to go. I use 80 grit on a hard piece of wood.

Meant to include a before pic of how the guitar used to look
 

@brie Looks really nice bud, the neck wood looks a bit mahogany ish but not sure.

@koendb zero issues, I did 3 but when pulling the trem up it was pushing against the springs so I tried 2 and it works perfect.

@boo be sure to insist on a 4 string because a 5 string is a pain in the hoop! 🤣
