Cutoff shot of a dog humping a gal. Mods will delete if they see the whole shot.

[Diamondjimi]

It's already been adjusted.

Back to the topic, I have completed the tung oil. The 0000 steel wool makes a very minor mess, not even worth talking about really. Does a great job taking the tun oil down without removing wood. I'm sure sandpaper works fine, but for me steel wool is where it is at. Anywho, I got jiggy wit it Sunday morning and wet sanded the headstock. 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 grit. I'm sure you can stop at 1200 or 1500, but going all the way to 2000 is reaching perfection. Zero scratches, smooth as silk. I don't buff with a machine, I do it by hand. So going to 2000 is the way to go if you are buffing by hand. I use 3M Perfect It II Rubbing Compound. If you go to 2000 grit, that is all you need. Here it is flat after the 2000 grit.






Here it is after buffing. It was so shiny and had so much glare from the sun it was hard to photograph, so this pic doesn't do it justice. The white washed it out, I'll try and take a better pic to represent the shine

Check out the fun wiring diagram for the electronics. I'm using the over complicated Jem 5 way switch.

Nice!

I'm using the over complicated Jem 5 way switch.

Is that one of the ones marketed as a "mega" or super-switch?

Going by the top right diagram above, and comparing it to the one in your picture, looks like it accomplishes the same thing...
