To buff the slots of a slotted peghead? But seriously, how do you propose doing the buff work on such a tight area? Help please. |

Filippo, I was hoping you would answer. So you don't buff the slots of your headstocks? Do you even sand them? What is your procedure for finishing those slots? |

Wrap some 400 sandpaper around a flat file and around a sized brass tube (available at your local hobby shop) and Bob's your uncle...... |

Thanks for all the help guys. On a similar topic, how do you spray those slots? I intend on using my regular spray gun carefully at an angle. Do you do it this way, or do you use a small touch up gun, etc? |

Filippo, Thanks so much for the spray advice. I don't know if I would have come up with that technique on my own- or atleast not without screwing it up and over spraying mulitiple times. I really appreciate all the great advice. |
