Schecter Dream Machine: Building an 80s-Inspired Electric Guitar from Scratch! Part 2

🔥 Welcome back to my custom guitar build series! 🔥

In today’s episode, it’s time to get *smooth* — we’re sanding the body after grain filling! 🪵✨
This step is crucial to prepare the surface for the upcoming **clear lacquer finish**. 🎨💎

Here’s what’s happening today:
✅ The body was *water popped 4 times* and carefully sanded up to **240 grit**. 🚿🛠️
✅ Applied *wood filler* to seal the pores and grain.
✅ Now, sanding the surface smooth with *3M Stick It Gold 320 grit* paper. 🟡📄
✅ Using a *random orbital sander* for all flat areas. 🔄💨
✅ Hand sanding the *horns, contours, and roundovers* for perfect curves and transitions. 🤲🎯
✅ Final prep before the *clear coat application* in the next episodes!

⚙️ A Guitar with a Story
Every step brings us closer to finishing this dream guitar. With patience and attention to detail, the body will soon shine like a gem! 💎🎶
