Amost done except for some sand-throughs.

I sanded with 400 grit and then went to 600. 0000 steel wool was better at getting the orange peel off. The areas of sand-through were at the neck heel and on the rear area by the tuners.
It was hard to hit that and builkd up the finish there with the spray, so I will stay with brushing. I can load up where I need to without any runs, that occurs with spraying. I touched it up with my fingers. After I finish sanding, and before final polish, I will brush some finish on the edges as insurance. The Bob Hendrickson rosewood acoustic was finished with brushes and had no sand-throughs. Maybe operator error, but the proof was in the result. I like brush as it's what I was raised using.
