Just arrived. I am very happy with how it looks. I'm going to be doing a Tru-Oil finish on the body and leave the neck raw (other than burnishing the back and using some clear nitro on the headstock to bury a decal).
A few questions for those more knowledgable than myself:
1) How should I go about polishing the celluloid pickguard. It's fairly matte right now. I was thinking some Meguiars Ultimate Compound and/or some shine/wax?
2) What's the best method to burnish the jack plate to match the bridge more? Scotchbrite? Sand paper?
3) Any tips on drilling roasted ash? I've heard it can blowout/chip easily. I'm guessing start small and go slow?
