A Guitar called Jack--Part 64

Another shot of the leveled back.  It's a bit of a messy process... first Gerry lightly dry sands with 400 grit, just to "knock the bumps off".  Then, he sharpens his scraper to a micro-fine edge, and "scrapes" the lacquer untill all the shiny spots are removed.  At this point the surface is effectively level.  However, to facilitate the buffing stage, he finishs off the leveling process by wet-sanding the surface with 1000 grit sandpaper.  This leaves the surface mirror smooth, just what we want, in preparation for the buffing.
