Wet sanded with 600, 800, 1200, 1500 grit, then rubbing compound and swirl remover. Feels super smooth and looks glossy. Has more scratches than I expected, but after an hour or so of buffing, this is as good as it is getting! :D :

Were those pre-finished floors or were they stained after installation?

You know how much I love those floors. You should have placed the neck on your wife's outstanding mission inspired dining room table with runner, just my opinion.

Any interest in the guitar neck?

Looks killer. The table on the other hand could use some grain filler before you zebra-stripe it...

Cool
The headstock reminds me of the zebra V Chris Holmes had
 
That looks too good Steve! Love the PW locking tuners too. I've got a set on my semi-hollow, and I love them. Hold tune great, makes changing strings take literally 3 minutes for the whole guitar. Perfect for a guy like me, who hates every aspect of instrument maintenance, haha.
