Today was the second day of sanding the body of the guitar. It took me about six hours of hand sanding to get all of the sealer off the wood. The hardest parts were near the neck of the guitar and on the sides. I ended up using my dremel to remove most of the sealer and buffed out the rest with sand paper. Tomorrow, I will be doing the next round of finer sanding to make sure there are no scuffs or scratches in the wood. After I finish sanding, I need to draw out my design, carve the body, and mask off the area that is not going to be stained. I also need to build an apparatus to hold the guitar while I stain it.
I wasn't happy with the clear coat on the front of the guitar neck so I sanded down the last coat and resprayed. I'm still not pleased with the finish on the neck and I will be adding another coat of clear tomorrow.
