Back story: This Tele body was once part of a Pine bar top I acquired from a remodeling project. The repurposed Pine was milled to 1 ¾” then processed into an unfinished Tele body as described above.
The sanding and priming process done to this body in my opinion is pretty smooth, but not adequate for the start of final color coating. I would urge you to do at least one more prime coat, and wet sanding before you start the final color coating process. This is Pine, so the grain is prominent and the hardness of the wood is relatively soft.
Please review the pictures and ask questions if you have any.
