Hey there,
the previous owner sanded the edges of that body very hard, so the wood is so raw at those spots, it takes in stain generously.
The remaining surface was now sanded with a 80s + a block... This basswood is still ridicously smooth, i mean its a wonderful surface, bright and evenly smooth, but it would absorb the stain about 10% as much as those spots i mentioned and i went over several times with 80.
Is 40 now the option for really bursting open that surface of the wood like i see at those rough edges?
Many Greetings
