UPS just brought me a nice surprise. Grain is nicer in person than I expected. Great craftsmanship, very tight neck pocket.
Only one little hole filled with putty (see photo). Possibly a knot. No one is going to notice it, and I can hit it with a wood touchup marker.
Newbie questions:
- To sand a small rough spot on the fretboard, do I use 0000 steel wool?
- How do I knock off the nubbin on the headstock and restore it to the correct Fender neck shape? Suggestions? I've got files and small hand saws. Is there a template I should use?
