I'm impressed. It is looking awfully good.

If you have Ron's little booklet, you know how he talks up the virtues of Auto Body Filler. On a painted body, it is great stuff.

You can probably get rid off most of your "oopses" during sanding.

So what if you change the contour a smidgeon here or a smidgeon there? The pre-CNC Teles I have looked at, and admittedly that data base is VERY small, pretty much all seem to be a bit different. I doubt that the gnomes in Fullerton didn't have a tearout now and then that they had to "fix" with a sander (or filler.)

Keep up the good work...and be safe.
