hello, I installed a limba neck that I made from scratch onto a gibson sg modern that had fallen from a wall mount. I really like my dcjr's finish. I've heard gibson doesnt grain fill their cheap models, such as mine. I like the grain being visible and feeling it.

I have grain filler, and can make grain filler, but skipping that step is the direction I think I want to go with.

So, what should my steps be? do I simply hit the neck with nitrocellulose clear coat and call it good, or do I need to use a sanding sealer first to keep the nitro from sinking.
