Since the last wet sanding (1500 grit), I've applied probably 4-5 wipe-on coats, and just now I wet sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper. The top is quite smooth, though definitely not as glassy as a lacquered factory-made guitar. At this point, it's time for a break as I let the finish cure over the course of 5-7 days. Once cured I'll trying buffing, polishing, and waxing the top with fine-cut rubbing compound, swirl remover, and paste wax. Then it will be time to start all over again with the back and sides of the guitar.
So, short post...and I'll see y'all in about a week!
Here's some guitar porn for ya (I'll probably update this post with another picture or two under different lighting...as I've said before, the finish dances with light and perspective so multiple pictures will be nice)! I'm off for some well-deserved tequila :)
Cheers,
Dean
