Members rakester Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I have just cut my guitar body on the band saw, I need to sand everything down to a smooth finish. What grit should I start with and end up using? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Meowy Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Depending on how smooth the wood is now, you will probably need to start with 150 or 220. I would go at least to 800, but I will usually go to 1000 or 1200. If more than a a couple of weeks passes between your final sanding and finishing, I would hit it again with your finest grit again. Complete the process by buffing / burnishing with denim or the paper backing of your final grit. Post some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
