Wet sanded 800 to 2000 grit, then used Meguiars Ultimate Compound with a foam pad on a drill. Just ordered some Ultimate polish to get rid of the last fine swirls.
Going to try and resist assembling it for another week to give it a little more hardening time and give it a final polish.
Top tip, don't wet sand with white spirit without gloves. Chemical burns sting!
Unsurprisingly, acoustically it sounds very similar to its red sibling, but it should be a little different plugged in as it has a slightly hotter bridge pickup.
Here are a few pics. I'll do a NGD thread on the main board with some more.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Mostly just standard modern LP wiring scheme with a bridge coil split on the bridge tone pot. I put a 5k trimmer on the coil split to allow me to adjust how much of the second coil gets shunted to ground, giving a thicker sound than one single coil (which sounded very thin before). I have it set just below the max, probably 4k or a bit more.
How are you getting on with it? You must be smitten, it's absolutely stunning
