Yeah, Geir... What they said.
I think the problem with that body was just that the veneer was so thin. I did exactly the same prep work on the Cashcaster body that I did to Lew's ash tele body, but it soaked in on the Cashcaster.
Granted, I let the sealer dry on Lew's for about a week before I sanded it out, whereas it dried only a couple of days on the Cashcaster. If I'd let it dry longer, I'd have probably seen the sinking then and been able to fix it.
The paint didn't soak down into the grain to an extent that you can feel the grain, there are just a few "wavy" spots in the finish that I know are grain lines.
If you use a good grain filler and follow the directions at the ReRanch site, you probably won't have any trouble, at all. I never have before this time, and if I did another one like it, I'd know to let the sealer dry a bit longer.
