Hi its more the length of time in each stage if you used 220 grit for an hour say but 150 grit for ten minutes beforehand then it doesn't matter how fine you go . As a general rule sand till there are no visible scratches arnt visible then proceed to next grit and so on . Hope that helps will post the link monday cheers

Yes! Please do! I have sanded the neck well using 220 grit. Do you have a suggestion on further sanding? Should I go for a finer grit before finishing?
Thanks for the help!

Hi I use a cellelose clear lacquer but before spraying I use a pre finishing spray . I will email you the link if you want they do colour lacquers as well . Unfortunatly its on my work computer but I can post it on Monday if you like. I also use cascamite glue for everything its availiable on eBay or amazon I think I paid 12 pounds for a 2-5 ltr tub it is the best for joints and bonding two wood surfaces . It is totally waterproof they use it in boatbuilding and I used to use it in the joinery shop. Post your pic on site as walnut and rosewood are beutiful woods to work with . Make sure wood has gone through the right sanding process to achieve optimume sheen and finish . The more time you spend on the neck the better the outcome . Hope that helps you
