We grain fill, paint and clear coat the solid mahogany body in black or white, clear coat the maple neck in the same gloss or matt sheen, and send it with the full chrome hardware set. You bolt on the neck, fit the hardware, plug in the solderless wiring and set it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinishing is where most first builds go wrong: grain filling, sanding between coats, drying times, runs and dust. It is also the part that takes weeks.
