That's a real head-turner right there. Sand throughs are regettable but you get over them. You're going to beat that thing anyway.

i have heard that it's good to wait a month or so before wetsanding. i'm actually kind of scared to mess with it. i know it's not the best paint job in the world, but i'd say it's pretty good for my first time really painting something.

i've been playing it every free moment that i've had for the past week and it hasn't bothered me a bit. but i play closer to the bridge anyway. to each his own, i guess.

Aye. Even the pickup switch on the top horn of a Telecaster Deluxe gets in the way of my strumming, but I think that comes from adapting to the awkward Mustang switches on my Jag-Stang. I had the choice, strum near the neck or near the bridge, and I refused to strum near the bridge.
