PAPPY

If you have a local cabinet shop nearby , take it to them and have them run it through a drum sander .This will elininate the possibility of tearout of the grain and will leave you with a nice smooth finish .

Thanks for your help guys. Much appreciated...

can anyone tell me the actual thickness of a les paul maple top? I see many different thicknesses on ebay.

Like a laser guided missle, you blew this project up!!! Fantastic work . don't stop now .Give us all a taste of what's next. super , super , super

I am currently sitting on about 6 board ft. & have a tele body started. Primavera is a great wood to work with . It is sometimes called white mahogany .Moderately heavy (slightly heavier than mahog). It's a little softer than mahog.Has long silky grain. I don't know of anyone who has used p-v on a guitar. mostly used in the 70's as accent trim. If u use p-vI assume it will sound like a mahog. paul, maybea little more bluesy.good luk
