if you're starting with 1200 be prepared for a long old job, I'd go from 600 up to 2000. If you can lay your hands on it buy some micro mesh, its much easier to use on curved surfaces, comes in all grades and lasts for ages, when I do a neck I cut a piece of sponge and wrap the micro mesh around that, keeps the surface wet with the constant dampness from the sponge too. Just make sure theres enough lacquer on the neck and you wont arse it up, tread very careful around the edges or you will wear through to the wood.

As handy as Halfords are for picking up some wet and dry in a hurry, I have a huge knot in my stomach everytime I pay in there, utter utter ripoff prices...and they're higer numbered paper is shit quality - from 1500 upwards, it literally washes apart after 30 seconds rubbing, the coating just washes off!!!
