after I removed all the glue I then cleaned off all the dust and ink stained the fingerboard. while I was at it I rounded off the edge and stamped the serial number. "0001" lol. :lol:

I now started to sand out all the rough spots left on the guitar body. at this time I also sanded out a wee bit of contour on the back of the body like my other mosrites. after several hours of sanding this is what i came up with.
